Although it's a really good question why openlane generates redundant huge files, and why openlane isn't using GDS compression in magic long after I announced it was available.
m
I believe the klayout and magic files are XORed as kind of a sanity check, but the compression is a good point.
v
I think while push to repo we've have option to 
make compress
so its by default compress all GDS files. But flow not compress by default.
t
Yes, I've asked for the compression to be done by default and the 
make compress
/ 
make uncompress
to be removed, but it hasn't been done.
