	Its only an issue on a machine that has dumped core, and anyone
	regularly debugging crashdumps will set aside enough space, and
	rmeove the -z. For those less familiar with the process we
	should have a default that is more likely to fit the crashdump,
	and less likely to fill their /var.

	If there are enough easily compressible pages it may even take
	less time :) Seriously - if I'm in a real hurry I hit ^C on
	savecore now - if I'm not in a hurry I don't mind if it takes
	twice as long. Its not ideal, but with the above I still think
	its the better overall.
