It is possible to have an object grow during the second compression.  I
doubt that happens much and if something does grow it won't be by much.  My
guess is most folks leave compression on at the drive level even when doing
compression at the client.

I stand much better informed.  My testing and biases have all been based on
small environments without taking into consideration the larger picture.  I
can indeed see that compressing at the client, especially with lots of
clients, may well be the way to go.

Thanks to all for sharing war stories with me.  I have opened my mind to the
notion and will implement it the next time I'm working in a large
environment.  I think I'll do it using an option set so I can turn it on or
off easily and get some before and after numbers.

Just doing my bit to stir the pot.
