We turn off VJ and Stac on leased E1 lines when they are not heavily
loaded. It is not worth the CPU time to do the compression if the line
is not loaded and has stabilized and reduced RTTs on such connections
remarkably. Of course Stac and VJ are always on up to 128kbps, where they
really make sense ;)
