Tom,

We have had great success compressing the export in real time within UNIX. It done through pipes.

To do this:

        mknod pfile p
        compress < pfile > dumpfile.Z  &
        exp / buffer=25000000 file=pfile ......

I suggest scripting this and adding additional checking, but you can do this quick and dirty.
