A compression check isn't gonna help you start your car easier, and I don't think you'll run out and rebuild the engine based on results.

If you are using Autolite glow plugs that could easily explain the failure. If Bosch, well, they all fail after a while. Your's will not last as long with multiple duty cycles as that simulates more time in the car. What is the saying, "The light that burns the brightest burns out the fastest".......
