Usually, the smaller the messsage, the higher the CPU cost per each network byte
saved by compression, so it often makes sense to reserve heavier compression
for bigger messages (where it can make the biggest impact for a given CPU budget)
and use ligher compression for smaller messages.
There is a knob -- internode_compression_zstd_min_message_size -- which
excludes RPC messages below certain size from being compressed with zstd.
We arbitrarily set its default to 0 bytes before.
Now we want to arbitrarily set it to 1024 bytes.
This is based purely on intuition and isn't backed by any solid data.
