max_wait  (duration)  maximum wait time between operations, defaults to '15s'
cycle     (duration)  time duration between scanner cycles
```

Example: the following setting will decrease the scanner speed by a factor of 3, reducing the system resource use, but increasing the latency of updates being reflected.

```sh
~ mc admin config set alias/ scanner delay=30.0
```

- Already compressed objects are not fit for compression since they do not have compressible patterns.
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.
