ABSTRACT:
A method involves: performing a first process on a unit of data, where the first process belongs to a class of processes; storing information that identifies a result of performing the first process on the unit of data; and, based on the information, determining whether to subsequently perform a process belonging to the class of processes on the unit of data. For example, the first process can be a compression process used to compress a file before the file is transferred across a network. The information can identify a compression ratio obtained by performing the first process on the file and can be used to determine whether the same compression process (or any compression process in a class of compression processes) should be used to compress the file the next time that the file is to be transferred.
