Comment (by rhaas):

 It's not. Compressing with  h5repack -f SHUF -f GZIP=9 reduces its size to
 11MiB from 19MiB. From the looks of it svn stores it in compressed form on
 the server though (a local svn repository containing the 19MiB file is
 only 12MiB large). Subversion also transfers data in compressed form over
 the network (I think).

 So it is uncompressed on the user's disk but compressed everywhere else.
 We can certainly go ahead and compress the hdf5 file though I don't think
 it will help speed up up checkouts or reduce load on the server. I will
 however reduce the checkout size on the user's disk (by ~10MiB since svn
 keeps two copies around).
