Comment (by knarf):
Instead of distinguishing by 2D/3D we could look at the overall size of the relevant data chuck. I do this successfully in another project (non- Cactus). If this threshold is large enough to, in general, expect a benefit from compression we enable compression, otherwise we don't (and don't use chunks). This would suggest a parameter for the size of this threshold.
