Only collected result is compressed or messages from each proc to local
daemon and messages from local daemon to rank=0 are compressed too?
And, may be a stupid question, but I have to ask :) When rank=0 xcast
collected modex it compress it once or for each rank separately.
Also I think if rank=0 will compress each modex message during
receive it can save some work during xcast.
