I think it helps in the short term in that if you have a lot of test case
failures, you don't run out of space storing the executables before
you get to the end of the bootcheck :-) However, it hurts in the long term.
If you get a few test case failures in one bootcheck, fix them, and do
another bootcheck to confirm the fix, the compressed executable hangs
around effectively forever. I agree that the former is not important
these days, and the second isn't that important either, but in case
the stray .gz files bug you like they bug me, you can adapt and run the
attached script to clean them up before this diff deletes the clean_zip
target.
