Ahh, that makes sense. SG's initial testing a while back found that
while counterintuitive, compression actually increased the insulative
value rather than decreasing it. It would also increase the
compressive strength and probably the fire resistance (although at 35%
inerts it should be pretty good anyway).
There are certainly advantages to be had there. It is more difficult
to manage block compression for the average person, although by no
means impossible.
