Original poster here: I have tried doing that in the past, and the issue is that the overall cost in computation power is higher, and the compression rate is poorer than when you can optimize for that. Other aspects that touch on that is that we are usually not dealing with large amount of data, so there isn't enough room for a general algorithm to play its strengths. For various reasons, we'll rarely see the raw data higher than 1 - 2 KB for each segment.
