On the fly recompression (from the same context) was what I had as a first version (which was internal and was never published), and we didn't like it at all. It's too limited, has zero flexibility, zero extensibility and has too high of a price tag attached to it (in terms of CPU cycles, power and time). So we moved it to user-space (deferred context) and this unlocked numerous possibilities: recompress only when we really need to and, more importantly, can afford it; wire in numerous metrics: battery, CPU load etc. And many more.
