* sha1write_compressed() in csum-file.c is for producing packs and most of the things we compress there are deltas and less compressible, so even when core.compression is set to high we might be better off using faster compression.
why would deltas have poor compression? I'd expect them to have about the same as the files they are deltas of (or slightly better due to the fact that the deta metainfo is highly repetitive)
