That wouldn't make sense - compression has very cache-friendly access patterns, and would benefit greatly from the observed improvements in memory bandwidth.

That surprises me to hear. I would expect it to jump around in ram a lot. And at higher compression settings, some compressors use a lot of ram, more than will fit in cache.
