It's an oversimplified eq. That's not necessarily true at all.

    CA> If you get 50% compression you save 50% of xfer time, 

If you're talking about a packet-based system (hello IP), you're
probably going to get about the same time for sending 1K of data as
for sending 4 or 8K.

So, the equation becomes, for sufficiently small data values, compress
time + const xfer time vs. const xfer time.

Of course, once again, feel free to prove me wrong.
