[Boost-testing] Too many results?

I've been watching my Linux machine take incrementally more and more 
time processing the regression results and uploading them to the OSL 
server. If I'm lucky not too many new results come in, and it takes 3.5 
hours (it used to take about half that). Still not entirely bad... But 
the really bad part is that the generated results, which are compressed 
into a ZIP file, takes more than 200M. It takes a long time to upload 
that through my limited pipe. So I'm looking for suggestions on how to 
improve the turn around time, and of course suggestions on how to reduce 
the over all resources needed are welcome... Note, I'm looking for 
things we can do quickly.

The one though I've had so far is to use "rsync" instead of uploading a 
ZIP, and them zipping on the OSL server. But the uncompressed sources 
are more than 1.5Gig so it would make for close to 2Gig of disk space 
use on the OSL server. Which is something I'd rather avoid.

So, any clever ideas out there?
