Yeah, it seems unlikely that disabling compression is a good idea in the
bigger scheme of things.

At least in this example, the same stats arrays are fetched multiple
times per query. It might be worth teaching the planner to cache those
results internally during a plan cycle --- this would avoid most of the
complexity associated with caching (ie, figuring out when to clear the
cache) and still get maybe a 2x or 3x or so win.
