So maybe game.net_compress_level should be the quality/speed tradeoff of 
the network compression from 1..9 (or 0 for off), which would a more 
intuitive use for the name, and something like game.net_compress_policy 
could be the never-compress/compress-if-possible/always-compress selector. 
Or, if the two compression levels are to be the same, rename them/it to 
something like game.compress_level.
