Compressing snapshots

[efrecon]

machinery uses a combination of docker save and docker load when transferring images onto the created virtual machines. When running over remote services (as opposed to local virtualbox or similar instance), it might be a good idea to compress the tar files using gzip to quicken the scp transfer that occurs inbetween.

Easy way around is probably to use the -C option of scp instead.
