[TriLUG] Man

Just a quick question to satisfy my curiosity.  Sometimes when you 
search for a binary you will also get the associated man pages (on my 
box /usr/share/man/).  It looks to me like all the man pages are 
*.gzipped.  Whenever you view a man page, does it unzip, display, and 
then re-zip after you view it?
