This is why compression was implemented the way it is for ADPs.  The
application should "hint" to the server when compression might be
appropriate for a response.  But, the server is ultimately responsible
for determining if compression can happen, doing the compression and
handling the I/O.

Which is why I suggested ns_return_compress, similar to ns_adp_compress
but for ns_return'ed responses.
