There has been various discussions about compressing the tdag. A few approaches in use/considered are:

Remove slack in tdag by shifting sections to the front of the file (have a script for this)
varint encoding e.g. see comment here
zlib-compression or other forms of compression.

This issue is for tracking these efforts and decide on a way forward.
