Yes that message does confirm you are on a compressed feed.

Also for reference, the CompressionTime is in seconds. So to the right of the decimal place is effectively microseconds. .000001 is a microsecond.

And when the market becomes more active, the buffer sizes become larger and the compression ratio increases. But you may not see the compression ratio immediately reflect that because it is the compression ratio across the entire connected session. So gradually you will begin to see it go down towards 2 and then if there is a higher amount of activity, gradually it will start to go up.

So long as we can compress data at under 20 µs we should be able to take the compression up even higher. Like 4. But right now typically it is going to be 2 to 3.
