They are larger.  the .emd files add up to 7 gigs.  the .nbb/.nbw files add up
to over 20 gigabytes.  In addition, accessing the compressed files is actually
faster unless you have the very fastest scsi disks around...   then they now
appear to break even.  And for 1/3 the disk space, why not use compressed?  I
do and I have fast scsi drives.
