Yes, you are right, when compressing data which is already compressed 
the compression ratio is not high (for example with the camera device), 
I'll see how can i identify isoc devices and maybe compress only those.

I've made some testing-  when compressing usb storage device with ntfs 
fs it's mostly depends on  the files which are being transfer, the 
compression ratio can be 9:10 for compressed\binary files and up to 1:9 
for documents\code\other files (and during mounting empty\not-full fs- 
the compression ratio is always very high since a lot of "empty" data is 
being sent). so basically the results seems pretty good for file systems 
(with the camera device the compression ratio was not high)
The perf testing has shown that the cpu is not being significantly 
influenced by the compression.
