New description:

 In ticket #3688, it was suggested to reopen a ticket for requestion gzip
 support for the import/export functionality

 Update: #5522 supports gzip compressed files on the import side.

 XML is very bloated, and many hosts have low upload limits. Therefore it
 would be a very nice to be able to import/export gzip compressed files.

 Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to import files that already
 are on the server, i.e. uploaded via FTP (but that's probably something
 for another ticket).

Comment:

 tellyworth, I don't see a reason to hesitate getting gzip compression into
 trunk.

 (I agree it wouldn't be appropriate for this to be deployed to
 WordPress.com for example until after a release with importing of gzip.)
