It just depends on what's more important, disk space or CPU usage.
I think most people compress them and have Orca uncompress them.

You could also run a 'find . -mtime +2 -name .....' to find any
uncompressed files older than 2 days after they are scp'd and
compress them after Orca is done with them.

Best,
