The live images get compressed at the end, so looking at the
potential savings you want to think about how compressible it is.
Savings from reducing things that compress well are not going to be
as good as that from data that is already compressed when installed.
Yes, sorry, that was supposed to be my point. The translations are obviously
a big chunk of the uncompressed usage, but _do_ compress well.
