Postgres doesn't support that much compression directly. These guys
decided to take the performance hit of compressing/decompressing things
at the filesystem layer... but it's actually *faster*. Turns out I/O
bound stuff like the database, even if you spend more CPU on
compression, there are multiplicative effects if the data is smaller.
