While it is true that waveform compression can be more trouble than it's
worth, this makes controlling it somewhat random.

Sometimes, waveform compression distorts in a way that is not immediately
expected (a small straight piece in a nicely curved trace). It is a useful option
when file size is really hurting, but nowadays, and in the future, who cares?

PS: IMHO, compression is a less of a problem than modified trap gone. The
standard TRAP may not look nice, but it shows the error is oscillating (so when
you see it, it is certainly bad), while modified trap is purely cosmetic and
suggests that the waveform is accurate everywhere and that there are no
discontinuities.
