I finally had some time to look at this today; as it turns out, it's just not refcard of stack_frame that don't compress well, it's all PDF files. I think the PDF being produced are already compressed, which explain why gzip doesn't provide much gains. Given the extra usability, I just changed the generation of the docs to not compress the pdf files (the rest stays the same, as in those other formats, it does make a difference). -- Joel
