      Compression is now supported by the new WiredTiger storage engine.
      Snappy disk compression is on by default and there are more options configurable.
      See SERVER-15953 for more information.

      WAS:
      When storing textual data (and having more CPU than IO capacity) it'd be nice to have an option to have the data stored gzip compressed on disk.
