It doesn't make multicast structures unnecessary. Using multicast
structures you can avoid to generate/serialize/parse quite some XML
stanzas. So you have less volume to compress and at the other side
it's less XML to parse. Sure the multicast handling takes some CPU
too but that's minimal compared to general purpose compression.
We're not seeing any bottleneck on CPU at this time on our
deployments, I have to say.
I do, personally, have a bottleneck on implementing stuff, though...
