Actually part of the problem with text file is that it is not stored efficiently on the harddisk. Well, its not really the problem with text file but the disk format/structure itself. If on-the-fly compression can be done seamlessly (heard its getting done in some variant of OpenZaurus), text files will take up much lesser spaces.
