Personally, I would love to see protocol-level compression added.
(Yes, going over a compressed SSH tunnel works well, but in general
isn't user-friendly.)

Josh: we talked on IRC awhile back and you mentioned that CMD had
added this in Mammoth? Would you be interested in having someone get
that integrated back into the community?

There's a recent thread on pgsql-general about just that:

I agree with Tom's comments there, I'd like to have something to enable/disable SSL compression rather than implement our own. There was some discussion that it might not be available on JDBC SSL implementations, but if it's done in our protocol, you'll need changes to the client to make it work anyway.
