Also keep in mind that even if it does increase CPU usage, it reduces disk usage. This is probably an excellent tradeoff for most people, since most servers are limited by disk throughput/latency more than CPU power.
IOPS are harder to scale (meaning: cost more to scale) than CPU power.
And gzip (or lz4 of implemented someday) (or even blosc: http://www.blosc.org/. They claim "Designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than a memcpy() OS call.") is effectively free with todays CPUs.
