The logging libraries compress logs in real-time, so only - compressed logs are written to disk or transmitted over the network.

Compressing IR into archives can further double the compression ratio and enable global search, but this requires more memory usage as it needs to buffer enough logs. More details on IR versus archives can be found in this [Uber Engineering Blog][uber-blog].
