That's a good question. Re-compressed object can be bigger than the
original compressed one, but this should already be taken care of.
We do
        if (comp_len_next >= huge_class_size ||
            comp_len_next >= comp_len_prev ||

This checks whether recompressed object is above huge-size watermark and
whether recompressed size is larger than the original size.
