compress before encryption and the transmission speed depends on 
content.  If it's something that compress's well your throughput should 
increase.

I use a zlib compressed encrypted vtun for my dsl line and on plain text 
I get about a 300% increase in speed with zlib set to  fastest 
compression (level 1), but things like jpgs are even.  I also don't see 
latency issues, I play quake3 over it just fine adds maybe 1msec.
