I think that making packets decompressed as default would be good idea.
While testing the n.v.m.dumb on bigger databases I see that most of
monotone effort is at creating/reading packets. Maybe it's compression
which takes some time.
No i didn't profiled it, but it may be reasonable for transport (netsync/dumb)
to decide if compression is needed.

Maybe support two kinds of packets with&without compression ?
Compressed by default, but uncompressed with specific option ..
That's would make mess in code, but maybe it would useful.

Again, returning to n.v.m.dumb, are there any chances to make "cert
id" a public entity, so we can query for them by automate ?

(BTW. I'm polishing n.v.m.dumb so in few commits it will be usable for
small projects).
