anyways,

i just realized that linux should be able to handle silly machines
that blindly apply vj compression even when it isn't going to be a
win. so, here's a small patch that deals with that. unfortunately, i
can't really test it that well as that's an event that i rarely
encounter. all i can say is that it looks obviously right to me.
