FYI: There was a serious brain fart (mine) in the previous message... I said...

If the minimum file size is >> larger than what's in the first brigade... then it's time to >> start buffering ( if the code allows it ). What I meant was that if the 'minimum_file_size' is less than the amount of data already in the first brigade that shows up then you already know that this puppy is NOT 'below the minimum' and ( based on other criteria ) is eligible for compression. At this point it's is a sure-fire 'MAY' be compressed depending on other eligibilty checks.
