Interesting point. In my case, I have about 300 GB of uncompressible
media files, and about 40 GB of compressible data files. I've chosen
not to compress anything, because it seemed like such a waste to even
try. Maybe I should run some time tests and also see just how much
space I would save if I used compression.
