I finally had some time to look at this today; as it turns out,
it's just not refcard of stack_frame that don't compress well,
it's all PDF files. I think the PDF being produced are already
compressed, which explain why gzip doesn't provide much gains.
Given the extra usability, I just changed the generation of the docs
to not compress the pdf files (the rest stays the same, as in those
other formats, it does make a difference).
