And certainly other programs run from Emacs, including such simple things as `grep', depending on the platform, do not necessarily do that. > And all .el files are gzipped when installed by default. "Installed"? What does that mean for you? Perhaps you are assuming that what it means for you is what it means for everyone? For me, on MS Windows, it means just downloading and unpacking a zip archive that includes executables, source files, etc. And no, zip archives distributed for Emacs releases (and pretests) on Windows have not had the .el files gzipped.
