Compression is a client-requested SSH option, that is allowed or
disallowed on the server.  In openssh based systems,
/etc/ssh/sshd_config has a compression option which defaults to Yes
(meaning compression is allowed by client request).  In cygwin, the -C
option or -o Compression ssh command line options of the enable
compression.  It can also be specified in /etc/ssh_config,
/etc/ssh/ssh_config, or .ssh/ssh_config.

Since you are asking about it, it is likely that you do not have it
enabled, but it would be worth checking just incase.

Compression is good for slow connections, but generally degrades
performance, esp. interactive performance over fast connections (which
yours would be considered).
