Eg. files that are already compressed would increase the cpu consumption with compress-force, while they'd be hopefully detected as incompressible with 'compress' and clever heuristics. So the NOCOMPRESS bit would better reflect the status of the file.
current NOCOMPRESS is based on trial and error method and is more accurate than heuristic also loss of cpu power is only one time ? May be the only opportunity that heuristic can facilitate is at the logic to monitor and reset the NOCOMPRESS, as of now there is no such a logic.
