And it was soooo borderline if I recall correctly.
Try a ATF and Seafoam treatment ... it won't hurt.
In the end as long as the car runs fine, try not to let it bother you.
But just keep it in the back of your head that you want to get that new engine before your warrenty is up .. start gathering those oil change receipts.

Low compression is simply compression values for your car that are belowed a pre-defined acceptable number deemed by Mazda. There are varying points of low compression. I remembered your numbers from the test are just below the cut off line, which is perfectly fine for daily driving.
Case in point using my engine as an example, my values were below yours at the time of the test, and going back, I had been complaining of those symptoms since spring 2011. I recall faithfully the backstraight at Mosport how RevRX8 (Jay's) car whom was in front of me was pulling away like no tomorrow. I was sure my exit speed and gear were correct at corner 5B, I had one extra passenger but it can't have made that much difference on the backstraight. At that time I had that nasty noise/rattle and powerloss; symptoms of low compression.
For you Ken, if you're not tracking your car, daily driving you'll be fine with low compression.
