It would look like
$checkSaves=1;

I didn't have in mind to allow that option for wikis using gzipped 
pagestores. However, if those people can afford the resources needed 
to ungz 4-5 files for each page display, they would not mind an extra 
ungz as you suggest below:

But all that would be part of the recipe, not the core.

The core, in my opinion should keep shecking for filesizes before 
renames. My original suggestion (which Pm improved on) was to check 
against zero, since when my shared server runs out of space because 
the virtual storage runs out of space through some server management 
glitch or hardware failure, I don't want to wind up with zero-length 
files (again :)
