If you're using NIS but do not explicitely require plus addressing then
the compat module is still a completely unneeded module loaded
dynamically (DSO loading is not free) and cca. 20k of extra code being
used during NSS calls (icache is also not free).

It's your choice. For me deleting compat from /etc/nsswitch.conf is one
of the routine configuration steps after a fresh install.
