It seems to me the line lies somewhere halfway between 1 MHz and 1 GHz
- logarithmically. The distance is roughly ten octaves, and if you go
5 octaves up from 1 MHz then you're at 32 MHz, which seems to be
around the value when problems start if you don't add said
compensation. I'm sure it works differently for different op amps
though. But if you're closer to 1 GHz than 1 MHz, it seems likely
you're going to run into trouble.
Cheers,
