If the majority of downloads are of the uncompressed file, am I right to think that this will translate in costs to the infrastructure? Compute of the server-side decompression and traffic.

If so, can this be significant enough to be a problem? Should the "download gpx" link be slightly more "hidden" to avoid this situation? Just an additional click or something like that.
