    And we do *not* want to gzip the strings.

    1) It'll be slow
    2) The strings won't be readable in the debugger
    3) It'll increase memory usage because the strings are
    too short to have any good entropy - as well as all
    the boundary points where we get things out or put
    things in - those will need uncompressing + strdup'ing

    You could do a Huffman or Shannon Fano based on a static tree which is
pretty fast, but really, you're still not likley talking about enough
savings to be worthwhile.
