Clearly you have not heard of the software flywheel:

If I understand the blog entry correctly, for text data the task took
up to 3.5X longer to complete, and for media data, the task took about
2.2X longer to complete with a maximum storage compression ratio of
2.52X.
For my backup drive using lzjb compression I see a compression ratio
of only 1.53x.
