Agreed.

While the bytes shrink, the CPU still gets wasted to shrink them.

An even better argument *for* a configurable parameter might be HTTP spec.
Section 15.1.2 of RFC 2616 pretty much says flat-out that servers SHOULD make
the Server header a configurable option. But, RFC 7231 says nothing similar so
I'd call it a draw from a spec perspective.
