Chained recompression has unpredictable behavior and is not useful in practice. First, systems usually configure just one alternative recompression algorithm, which has slower compression/decompression but better compression ratio. A single alternative algorithm doesn't need chaining. Second, even with multiple recompression algorithms, chained recompression is suboptimal. If a lower priority algorithm succeeds, the page is never attempted with a higher priority algorithm, leading to worse memory savings. If a lower priority algorithm fails, the page is still attempted with a higher priority algorithm, wasting resources on the failed lower priority attempt. In either case, the system would be better off targeting a specific priority directly. Chained recompression also significantly complicates the code. Remove it.
