Could zfs be configured to use gzip-9 to compress small files or when the system is idle..
When the system is busy or is handling a large file use lzjb. Busy/Idle and large/small files would need to be defined somewhere. Alternatively, write the file out using lzjb if the system is busy and go back and gzip-9 it when the system is idle or less busy. I'm not familiar with fs design. There are probably compelling technical and compliance reasons not to do any of my suggestions.
