So the advantage of using SW compression instead of HW compression is that we can selectively choose on which DLEs compression should be enabled and where it is useless (or even counter-productive). In situations where CPU utilization is not a concern, this may be the preferred approach, as we should expect a better tape space usage.
Is it correct?
