Comment(by mikey):

 Just another data point, moot if the original intent is to always read
 from disk, never load the whole GeoIP database into RAM.

 But, if the intent is to save disk space once installed, LZMA produces
 decent results (tested with 7zip and April 2011 files):
 1.1M GeoIP.dat compresses into 436KiB dat.7z
 3.5M geoip     compresses into 551KiB txt.7z
