Cache: Enable compression by default for values > 1kB.
Compression has long been available, but opt-in and at a 16kB threshold. It wasn't enabled by default due to CPU cost. Today it's cheap and typical cache data is eminently compressible, such as HTML or JSON fragments. Compression dramatically reduces Memcached/Redis mem usage, which means the same cache servers can store more data, which means higher hit rates. To disable compression, pass `compress: false` to the initializer.

In #11474 we prevented TWZ ranges being iterated over which matched
