We also run compression per packet.  We find that the compression easily
makes up for the encapsulation headers and other security overhead.  In fact
that is the specific reason we implemented it.  However, we don't get
anywhere near typical WAN compression rates.  Enabling histories to
include multiple packets would be very desirable.

When my customers have run compression I've seen them find acceptable
benefit from using non-history-based compression, which is to say I feel
it's fine to do a reset after every
packet.
