ESTIMATE.: 80 PROGRESS NOTES: DESCRIPTION: Compress the binary log to make it smaller. The following options exists: a) Compress old binary log when they are not in use. On access from delayed slave, decompress it from start to memory and feed the slave the data from the uncompressed stream. b) Compress each binary log event separately with a format: <length><data>. Ship the binary log in the compressed format. I assume that b) is much easier to do.
