And the additional 0's should compress well
so I'm not sure the additional size is that much relevant here.  
I am not sure why compression is mentioned here. I don't think section
in .ko files are compressed.  
There is the option to compress the whole .ko files, and it's commonly
used.
Hi Michal,

I am aware that there is an option but I am surprised to hear that it's
commonly used. I don't think that's enabled by default, and certainly
Debian/Ubuntu does not have it enabled.

Best,
Gary
