Roadmap Summary:
Compression reporting simplified by removing % and replacing with size and compressed size

Description

Currently the compression percentage is the percentage that was saved due to compression. So if the original file was 100K, the compressed file was 25K the compression percentage is 75%.

This is not what I would expect, and leads to some very strange results. For instance if the file gets bigger when compressed (can happen for indexes) you end up with a negative %.

More intuitive would be compressedSize /originalSize
