Dedup came much later than compression. Also, compression saves both
space and therefore load time even when there's only one copy. It is
especially good for e.g. HTML or man page documentation which tends to
compress very well (versus binary formats like images or MP3s that
don't).
It gives me an extra, say, 10g on my laptop's 80g SSD which isn't bad.

What does compression bring to the party that dedupe doesn't cover
already?
Thank you for you patience and answers.
