Description
Title says it all! I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that Postico doesn't use `ssh_config`, and it matches with what I'm seeing.

I have `compression yes` in my config, but no compression is used. Could we enable compression on all (or have a setting) SSH connections? Thanks!
## What software versions are you using?

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by locating Postico's SSH connection or tunnel setup and checking how SSH configuration is handled; done means SSH connections use compression, or a clearly documented setting controls it, with coverage for the chosen behavior.
