It seems this would have an adverse effect on protocol-aware connection proxies: They would have to uncompress everything coming in and recompress everything going out. The alternative of compressing each packet individually would work much better: A connection proxy could peek into the packet header and only uncompress the (few, small) packets that it needs for state and routing. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
