I would not remove low-bandwidth from the list.  Compressing the 
connection requires further CPU consumption, and if the requirement is 
both low bandwidth and low CPU consumption, then you obviously can't 
offload more on the CPU, right?

Note: I also said that we're talking about a situation where sniffing 
isn't an issue.  These are few and far between, but they do exist.  In 
this case, any added CPU/bandwidth/whatever loss is simply waste.
