I'm questioning whether we need something in between the two. You did
most of performance profiling and tuning of the current iteration of
groupcompress, so I'd depending heavily on your input here. How badly
impracticable is rebuilding everything? pack() doesn't take that long
really, and in fact you suggested while we were talking on IRC about
this that we could just trigger a partial pack - which would have the
same broad effect.
