Comment(by cscott):

 Discussion from #6431 copied here:

 For large library bundles, it is prohibitively expensive to keep a
 compressed copy in the journal as well as the unpacked version in the
 filesystem. One option would be to serve library (or activity?) content
 directly from the compressed file in the journal. An alternative is to
 have 'ghost' entries in the journal whose contents are understood to
 reside unpacked in the filesystem.
