Ok but it's not gonna be the ultimate solution as the dump still weight

-rw------- 1 mat mat 22290432 2010-08-19 23:28 s.ldb
-rw-r--r-- 1 mat mat 11058520 2010-09-18 09:49 s

s.ldb is the CN=Schema[...].ldb file and s its dump.

-rw-r--r-- 1 mat mat 540K 2010-09-18 09:49 s.bz2
-rw------- 1 mat mat 1,9M 2010-09-18 09:49 s.ldb.bz2
