   Compression can speed things up if your drive bus sucks but your CPU is good.

   I don't know about btrfs specifically, but I've experienced this elsewhere.

     Someone told me btrfs compression can actually speed things up? And then explained it to me? But I literally can't believe it? How the fuck?

     Doesn't compression always slow things down because the CPU has to then decompress the data!?!?
