I'd be surprised if it would even save a second. The modem is doing
the compression instead of the archiver and the compression achieved
is about the same. The current way is more thoroughly tested.

I've just this am been fanged on the arse by yet another problem
which caused lost outgoing mail without the slightest hint of an
error message. I happened to notice because I do informally compare
the size of the uploaded PKT with what I expect it to be and it
seemed too low. It was too low when I checked.

Basically I'm not keen on changing a damned thing which is
working until I have a decent update checking scheme in place.
