Just because I'll do almost anything to avoid real work, I just created an email list with 1.2 million name/address entries.
There is a lot of repetition, but I did make random changes to groups of a hundred thousand or so at a time.
The raw text file is 47.8 MB. 7Zip's Ultra level compression gets it down to UNDER 8 KILOBYTES. Pretty impressive. I'm going to spend a few minutes trying with one of my actual huge log files and see what happens.
