Yah, I'm not sure how much the compression is buying us. (That's not
an insinuation that it's not helping, more an acknowledgement of
ignorance). I would think that while compression saves us
transmission time, it also costs computationally on *both* ends --
that is, it's more work for the producer *and* for the consumer than
straightforward inserts would be.
