I did a simple benchmark on my notebook and a server in my company,
writing a big file to disk is faster than compressing it first and
writing the result out. The former's performance for reading should
also be better because of file cache.

In a corporate environment (and not related to git) I found the
opposite. The disk was fairly slow (over NFS) and it was in fact
quicker to read and write compressed files.

Ok, there must be exceptional cases, for these cases you can turn
off core.uncompressedLooseObject (if there will be this config).
