Which application do you use for file compression typically?
When I need more compression than average:
tar -cvjf targetfile source
When it shouldn't matter, I use either tar -cfzf, or create a .zip. Try all three and check the different resulting sizes FYOI.
Should strace.txt be changed back to strace.log before compression?
Not necessary. Thanks again for this excellent insight. There is now a tarball named strace.tar.gz and it is only 77k in size now after compression.
