`Data compression and decompression methods for compress(cid:173)
`ing and decompressing data based on an actual or expected
`throughput (bandwidth) of a system. In one embodiment, a
`controller tracks and monitors the throughput ( data storage
`and retrieval) of a data compression system and generates
`control signals to enable/disable different compression algo(cid:173)
`rithms when, e.g., a bottleneck occurs so as to increase the
`throughput and eliminate the bottleneck.
