schematic resources on the Net, K4XL's BAMA http://bama.sbc.edu/ ,
you will see what he has done about compression options.

BTW:  Ken's "The BoatAnchor Manual Archive" is a terrific resource.

http://bama.sbc.edu/viewers.htm  Here he discusses his tests with djvu, 
why he prefers it, and why he maintains a multiple-format database.
