Minified vs. pretty XML

I have a text field in a PostgreSQL Database in which XML data is stored. Now I was wondering if it makes a difference to store the XML in minified or in pretty version. According to http://bytesizematters.com the size of the text itself does differ: Size comparison of minified vs pretty XML Now I'm wondering if that will reflect on database size and performance. Maybe PostgreSQL is already optimizing text fields so much, that it actually doesn't matter. Unexpectedly, I didn't find anything on that topic on the internet. So if you have some links on that, I'd be very happy to read and learn more about DB optimization.
