The default find_files configuration parameter in orcallator.cfg tells
Orca to read both the uncompressed and compressed files, so you really
just want one or the other in your system.  If you have tons of space,
then leaving the uncompressed ones around will be faster since you don't
need to run bzcat or zcat to read them.

Best,
Blair
