This is indeed fairly significant - and if WAN circuits are full and/or
cost money per Gbyte, compression is still a win.

I'm more of a compression fan than not :-) - so this will be interesting
discussions indeed.

(Still, having "compress migrate" is a useful feature so if a VPN admin
decides "I want to disable this for my road warrior VPN users", he can,
without user complaints about "I HAVE THIS OCC WARNING IN THE LOG NOW!" -
more of a commercial support issue than anything else)
