Hi,
Both GLZ and QUIC are lossless compression algorithms.
Quic uses predictive encoding, while GLZ is dictionary-based.
As such, Quic compresses better picture-like images, while GLZ is better 
with images with patterns.
auto_glz means that for each image we heuristically choose the 
compression method (GLZ vs. Quic) according to some sampling of the pixels.

Indeed. See some plans in http://spice-space.org/page/EnhancePerf
