Honestly if you have a series of increasing unix timestamps you should be able to do much better than 2.2 bytes each.

Even simple delta+RLE can squeeze increasing unix timestamps up to few bytes. I'm talking about floating point data compression. Even the specialized state of the art algorithms can't guarantee you 2.2 bytes per float in general.
