The previous HTTP compression implementation functioned as a filter, which
required it to deal with a number of special cases that complicated the
implementation.
Instead, when we write an API object to a response, handle only that one
case. This will allow a more limited implementation that does not impact
other code flows.
Also, to prevent excessive CPU use on small objects, compression is
disabled on responses smaller than 128Kb in size.
