Several filesystems (btrfs, zfs) have transparent compression support. On those filesystems it would make sense to use the kernel-side compression instead of an explicit per-pack compression.

For Btrfs (and also zfs) this is done with chattr +c file on the command line (unnecessary if the compression mount option is given).
