Such objects do not produce efficient [`LZ compression`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78)
which is a fitness factor for a lossless data compression.

Pre-compressed input typically compresses in excess of 2GiB/s per core,
so performance impact should be minimal even if precompressed data is re-compressed.
Decompressing incompressible data has no significant performance impact.
