In my experience, compressing is a very good practice. You will save space AND processing time. And it is very simple to implement (if you have space enough to duplicate the largest table).

Compress is a PDBD issue, so, yes, it is design. But I would approach the testing part just as a 'technological test': try with one not very important table, if it works (it will), try with a larger/more important one, if it works (it will) deploy. No user will notice the change, except by a (potential) reduction in access times.
