This is doubleplus-unfast if you're gzipping 30MB nnfolders, and
you're copying a few hundred messages into them at a time.  (My former
usage pattern... now I don't gzip, but saving a 30MB file 150 times
in a row is not fast by any stretch of the imagination.)

In any case, there's no predefined functionality.  A patch was posted
a few weeks ago to save every article move, but nothing to have the
buffers delete.
