I thought you were storing them for the life of a document on a form, not permanently.
For permanent storage, then sure zip them. The format of save-to-memo will have one huge repeating item - the name of the array is repeated for each element, plus the 10 bytes where it stores the type etc will repeat often too. The compression ratio should be very good.
