One nice optimization we could do for those pesky binary large objects
(like PDF, JPG and GZIP-ed data), is to detect such files and revert
to compression level 0. This should be especially beneficial
since already compressed data takes most time to compress again.

That would be a good thing indeed.

Perhaps take a sample of some given size and calculate entropy in it?
Or just simply add gitattribute for per file compression ratio...
