I have been inserting 10790 exactly the same 64kb text message to a 
passive compressing enabled pool. I am still counting, but it looks like 
only half the objects are compressed.

I am not sure if this should be expected from passive, these docs[1] 
hint that passive 'compress if hinted COMPRESSIBLE'. From that I would 
conclude that all text messages should be compressed. 
A previous test with a 64kb gzip attachment seemed to not compress, 
although I did not look at all object sizes.
