If the bottleneck is the transport then select the best compression, if it
is not, then do not.  Selecting Modem connection type over a WAN will do 2
things.  1) Increase the load on the server and 2) make the interface less
"responsive" beacause you have to spend time compressing/uncompressing
messages.
