Comment # 1 on bug 12678 from 
Not all software that can read pcap files can transparently uncompress them,
and not all pcap files are large enough that they really *need* to be
compressed.

Perhaps providing a preference, or defaulting to the individual user's last
choice, would make sense, but I don't think making *everybody's* default
compressed the right choice.

(And what if we end up supporting multiple forms of compression, such as bzip2
and xz?)
