The current default compression.strategy is 'latency', which does not perform properly, i.e., the provider selection algorithm does not react to load change fast enough.
The work load may not be distributed evenly among hardware and software compression providers when compression.strategy is 'latency'.
Using compression.strategy to distribute workload among hardware and software compression providers.
Modify the tmsh sys db variable compression.strategy to 'speed'.
The default compression strategy is now set to 'speed'.
