Accordingly, they are both "grayed out" on the client because they are disabled on the server. Nevertheless, I still have a constant CPU usage of 5% to 7%. I don't know if this matters, but since I have a reasonable high-bandwidth connection to the server, I'm using zlib/lz4/lzo encoding which seems to result in quicker response times. Client version is beta 1.0 r14228, running on Windows 7. Server is beta 1.0 r14232 running on RHEL 6.6.
