This is poor design of libgweather.  There are several dozen .xml locale files,
each about 1MB or so, plus corresponding .mo localized message files (rather small.)
gzip compresses each *.xml file about 6:1.  Obviously the package should use gzopen.

The workaround is to remove the files for the locales that do not interest you.
