What CPU resources are required to compress the data? How much of a lag
will it introduce to the System?

The best way to go about storing compressed data is for the client to
_send the data in a compressed format_ and then know well enough to
decompress it when they get it back.

The server should store whatever the client sends them and don't mess
with it -- put the burden on the user, not the server.
