Recomended Compression settings for Tomcat servers..?

I am doing a POC on f5 AAM for one of our customer, who is currently using Apache for doing compression and load balancing of tomcat servers. We provided a solution to replace the existing Apache server with F5 LTM and AAM. We did the configuration and compared the performance and compression of both Apache and F5, we could see apache is doing more compression and better performance than F5, if any one can give any support to overcome this problem that would be great,

    In the deployment guide Deploying the BIG-IP System v11 with Apache Tomcat, we see

     

    "Modifying the configuration produced by the iApp template if using BIG-IP v11.4 - 11.5.x F5 has discovered that the HTTP compression profile produced by the iApp in versions 11.4 - 11.5 contains an improperly formatted Content Include string, and the omission of this string can lead to poor application performance or unusually high memory consumption on the BIG-IP system"

     

    probably you suffer this known issue?
