        Did you *actually* encounter the need for this enhancement in a real-world scenario, or does
        it just seem like a sensible behavior for the feature to have?


        Before we make significant changes to existing features in Guava, we really want to be sure
        that it's for a use case that actually comes up in the real world. We want to hear the

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.

Below is a list of common files and content-types which are typically not suitable for compression.

        There is always *some* alternative to adding a new feature to Guava, even if it's just
        forking Guava yourself.


        We want to see that new features have some significant advantage over the alternatives.
        These advantages can take
        [many forms](https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/PhilosophyExplained#utility), but taking
