Since the amount of data being compressed is smaller than the pure gzip
case, and possibly the compressor has shorter runs of characters to choose
between for optimal compression, I wouldn't be surprised if FI + gzip was
actually faster than gzip alone.
I think there is sufficient variables here that a measurement is required
rather than an assumption. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to make such
a measurement!
