I have discuss this with Paul a few weeks ago, and I believe that for "long"
fetches (some reports with lot's of data, for example) the overhead for
Compress/Descompress isn't important, and compression should make a
difference on slow links.

I really don't like using a proxy, but I will be glad to see this on the
driver, not in a proxy.

Of course, we can use a router with compression....
