The reason is simply because in our setup, it *doesn't* give us more
CPUs to compress with. Most of the backup is being pulled off our main
file server, which is a dual P3-500. When doing client side compression,
this slows the fileserver to a crawl while backups are happening, and it
takes longer than doing server side compression on the dual Athlon 2400+
backup server. ;)
