Well, if fixing it makes Cog slower, then it *is* about performance.
Just making everything uncompact without changing the image format doesn't really buy us much: it would make Cog slower and the image bigger with no benefit. The benefit comes from having a new image format that is optimized for speed rather than space - getting rid of compact classes would just be a side-effect of the new format.
