It would probably be fairly trivial to add a compression step between the cache
manager and the low-level cache modules, e.g. gzip or deflate compression. For
text types of files, i.e. HTML, one could probably achieve several-fold
compression. That will save significant space in both the memory cache and the
disk cache. It would reduce disk I/O.
The only downside that I can see is that it would probably inhibit partial
caching, e.g. as implemented via HTTP byte-ranges, since it's difficult to
append to a compressed data stream.

Mass move of all bugs without target milestones to M13.
Bulk move of all Cache (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking: Cache
component.
