Compressing data on the client means fewer bytes to send over the wire. 
Block-level compression like bzip2 tends to be completely cpu-bound and 
anything bigger than a cellphone tends to have plenty of cycles to 
spare. SD level compression is saving bandwidth where it's scarce at the 
cost of cycles that are abundant -- why would anyone *not* want it?
