When BOINC Client has 1000 WUs in the queue, communication between Client and Manager becomes slow. This is especially visible when link between them is slow - e.g. when managing Boinc installed on some remove server. Protocol between Client and Manager is XML-based, so compression should help a lot. Of course this should be backward-compatible, so communication should start as non-compressed, and Manager should explicitly ask for it.
Note: 1000 WUs seems a lot. However with 2-minute WUs and 32 CPUs all of them will be finished in about 1 hour, so real work buffer is not that big.
