Are you certain this is what's happening? How much of the time is spent on compression, and how much on FEC encode? Are you certain that the checkbox doesn't work? There is both compression and encoding happening; are you sure the problem isn't as simple as they're both getting the same status message? Weren't you complaining about this earlier? Has anything changed since then? IMHO this is significantly lower priority than data retention, opennet reconnection, and more problematic client-layer bugs.
