Did you ever look into using the auto compression/checksum feature also
for regular data objects?  While it might not be optimal for some
workload it seems like a useful feature when we might want automatic
data de-duplication and/or have a read mostly workload.  A typical
example would be base images for the OS disk which are shared by a lot
of VMs and might even get the same kind of modifications to them.
