We will add an option to manually trigger compression too.. as stated by Heiko
already since the beginning. If you don't want automatic compression, turn it
off and do it manually when you want.

No, we don't want to work around that bug with this.

Any kind of insert..

Professionals, turn this off and trigger it manually. That was our statement
from the beginning.
