I've noticed this too. I'm going to write a bash shell script that will
compare new files to all existing files in the data/ directory and delete
it if it's a duplicate. It'll then gzip all files. I will have to write a
plugin for MacOSX's Spotlight so that it can search inside .gz files, I
haven't found an existing one. This would mean I would have the advantages
of searching through all the pages I've visited and minimizing the needed
space.
