i'd rather have the higher transaction limit.  gzip is a cpu hog on
ANY archetecture.  anyhow, and someone correct me if i'm wrong, 99% of
everything in the /pub/FreeBSD tree is already gzipped [except the
./src directory, and if all you do is "get src.tar.gz", i'd just
highly suggest using cvsup instead...
