Compress mime tables in database

[rodolfor]

Hi,
I know it is a database systemist question, but I am going to try to compress tables in article_data_mime_attachment and article_data_mime_plain.
I will try to enable page_compression method.
Is there any advice in going this route?
thanks!

why not saving the attachments on disc instead in database?

Because the size problem is the same?
Mime data, if compressed require approx 20% of space.
If I save them in the filesystem does it save space for the different encoding?
If yes, ho can I convert actuale mime data in filesystem?

Thanks
