Ok I found it:
https://support.process-one.net/browse/EJAB-499

As people said on this thread, we can see that the implementation used
by ejabberd does not include TLS compression, but apparently it is
complicated because the TLS RFC is not accurate enough about compression
methods.

They also note an interesting information from a Google developper
stating that compression increases significantly computation power,
hence battery life decreases (annoying especially for instance for
laptops I guess). But also will we really gain from the compressed data
then (time, power, resource use, or even environmental consideration if
you want!)? Maybe compressing streams is just a "false good" idea...
