We understand that.  The question is why is an uncompressed Fc format so much larger than a straight dump?  Is the so bad it takes almost 5% extra space?

Chris,

  Sorry I'm not responding to the list, I am not allowed to post from
my corporate account, and this account is not subscribed to the admin
list.

  -Z 0 means no compression.  You'll want to stick with the default
or -Z 9 for highest compression.

Hope this helps!
