Summary0006425: Saved games can be further compressed tenfolds.
DescriptionAn uncompressed game save was made which took 100 MB. A compressed save was made which took 10 MB. The compressed save was further compressed by Winrar v. 3.20(if I am not mistaken) making the save be 1 MB. So a new compression library may considered.

I don't think this qualifies as a bug -- I doubt it's causing problems for anyone. Also, compression algorithms typically have a tradeoff between speed and the degree of compression, and speed is probably more important for DF.
