I can understand the value in testing the compression codepath (though it
seems useful to actually test that it does anything - just testing that it
roundtrips doesn't seem to demonstrate that the flag is actually causing
the code to do anything different from when compression is disabled), but I
still don't understand the point of the 1024 iterations.

My point of concern is not about whether we can afford 20ms, it's about
whether there's something we're getting out of that. What extra coverage is
the test providing by dealing with 1024*3 things rather than 3?
