Quite serious.  It depends on what you're compressing.  There
is a certain ammount of overhead added to a compressed
file.  If the ammount of savings in compressing does not
exceded this overhead, the resulting file will be bigger than the
original. 

Just make it optional to compess the data before sending
via a CLI option or some graphical checkbox (as the case may be).
