  I love how I can't take any post from any tech company serious today. Not like I'd want to actually do any real work today.

  Really, are trolling posts front-page worthy now? This is from February 2013. Simple fact, storing less data takes up less space! Sadly, this means that in MongoDB the field names for each document count towards that disk and memory usage. Additionally, there are a few tickets discussing this issue: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-863 https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-863 https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-164 https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-164
