I was under the impression that it was compression speed that was the
concern.  Here we're talking about decompression only.  A server is
under no obligation to use compression; if the server wants more speed
and thinks that avoiding the compression schemes on offer is the best
way to achieve that, then go for it.

The question is what options we require clients to support so that
servers always have the option to select something better than
"identity".
