Looking at some plasmidsaurus generated pod5 files - bro, 15gb archive decompresses into a 15gb pod5 file. Why are they just adding on processing time for the user? 🤔

@naturepoker it may be a requirement by a database. I recently uploaded pod5s for a publication to ENI and they required a tar archive.

For ENA when tar.gz is a requirement, I just pack the BLOW5 to a tar.gz with 0 compression to avoid this kind of unnecessary compression/decompression.

See Q7 in https://hasindu2008.github.io/slow5tools/faq.html for the commands.
