At this time, we simply don't have enough space to store all of the CCC messages

the compressed archives, and that's one reason why I am looking into different
compression methods.

I don't see the advantage to this.  Did you think about what it would take to
import over 100,000 small text files into it?  And why is it better than plain
text?
