What makes the database quite big is the pictures. And the pictures are already compressed since they're JPEG/PNG/GIF.

I do not consider 1.4 MB as big :p
Seeing the capacity of the disks, handling a compressed file only to make it a little smaller when stored on the disk is not really interresting I think.
