I'm not an engineer so you could be right. I got my information from browsing textbooks in Borders. I guarantee you that several textbooks suggest compression to assist the mix balance. Maybe it's time savings: compression is a form of adjusting note volume automatically. And time is money...
Sheffield's live to 2-track recordings don't sound compressed. I suspect they don't use compression at all. I assume this means more setup and rehearsal time. I wonder if they provide a really good monitor mix in headphones to the musicians to help them hear the whole thing and establish themselves in the mix.
