Excellent article :)

Doesn't really matter, since binary data (assuming a format that isn't 
over-engineered) is already smaller than the same data in text form. Text 
compresses well *because* it contains so much more excess redundant data 
than binary data does. I could stick 10GB of zeros to the end of a 1MB 
binary file and suddenly it would compress far better than any typical text 
file.

I'm not really sure why you're bringing up compression...? Do you mean that 
the actual disk access time of a text format can be brought down to the time 
of an equivalent binary format by storing the text file in a compressed 
form?
