My two cents,
Assuming that you may pick a specific compression algorithm,
most algorithms can have different levels/percentages of
deflations/inflations which is effects the time to compress
and/or inflate wrt the CPU capacity.
Secondly, if I can add an ad

The other problem is that you basically need a global unique registry
anyway so that compress algorithm 1 is always lzjb, 2 is gzip, 3 is
etc etc. Similarly for crypto and any other transform.
I've two thoughts on that:
1) if there is to be
I suppose what would have been nice to see, architecturally,
was a way to transform data at some part in the pipeline and
to be able to specify various types of transforms, be they
compression, encryption or something else. But maybe I'm
just dreaming without understanding the complexities of
