    Description

      The --networkMessageCompressors documentation here says:

      Changed in version 3.6:
       
        * Add support for zlib compressor.
        * Enabled by default. To disable, set to disabled.
      

      which confused me because it make it seem like zlib compression is enabled by default, when actually it's Snappy that's enabled by default (this is indicated a few paragraphs down).

      Suggest to clarify by changing to:

      Changed in version 3.6:
       
        * Add support for zlib compressor.
        * Snappy compressor is enabled by default. To disable, set to disabled.
