+ // the next time the database is opened.

+ // Control over blocks (user data is stored in a set of blocks, and

+ // ~400-800MB/s decompression
+ // Note that these speeds are significantly faster than most
+ // persistent storage speeds, and therefore it is typically never

+ // incompressible, the kSnappyCompression implementation will
+ // efficiently detect that and will switch to uncompressed mode.
