Compressing random data will actually enlarge it. If that happens I simply store the verbatim uncompressed data instead and mark it as such. There is also demand for a user-controlled bit in the inode to disable compression completely. All those .jpg, .mpg, .mp3, etc. just waste time by trying and failing to compress them.
So any sane way to enable compression is on per-inode basis which makes me still wonder why you need per-object compression.
