Compression issues should not show up unless there is a problem, like a defective head gasket, cam timing issue or bent broken valve(s), worn or cracked piston rings, scored cylinder bores, casting defect (porosity, cracks), loose/damaged spark plug(s) or any other condition that results in incomplete sealing of the combustion chamber.  I wouldn't try to assign a mileage to compression loss other than high, unless their is damage to the engine.

Usually compression is used to help diagnose performance issues or engine condition.
