When using compression, are the on-disk record sizes determined before
or after compression is applied? In other words, if record size is set
to 128k, is that the amount of data fed into the compression engine,
or is the output size trimmed to fit? I think it's the former, but I'm
not certain.

This could affect block alignment for SSDs, leading to worse write
performance. It could also have a negative effect on 4k sector disks
that lie about the sector size, such as the recent WD EARS drives.
