Generally, compressing FI results in similar or smaller size than
compressing text. So the FI benefits are there both w/ and w/o compression.
Take the 27 files in MITRE / OVAL / Platform Data File Downloads as an
example:

text: 16,271,427 bytes
fi: 4,171,861 bytes (ratio 1:0.26)
text+gzip: 1,082,750 bytes (ratio 1:0.07)
fi+gzip: 867,648 bytes (ratio 1:0.05)
