I think debian-devel is more appropriate for this kind of technical discussion. On a technical level, I think the real solution would be for the log system to write the log compressed from the start. There are various challenge to overcome, in particular a compression format that allow efficient append, but this would save both disk space and power (less data written to the disk, and no need to reread/rewrite the file later on for compressing it).
