1. A method for integrating data compression in a computer system, comprising:
receiving first data at a first system level;
based upon a number of planes of the first data being less than or equal to a threshold, compressing the data with a first data compression scheme, and transferring the data compressed with the first data compression scheme to a second system level for processing;
based upon the number of planes of the first data exceeding the threshold, transferring the first data uncompressed to the second system level for processing;
based upon the received data at the second system level being compressed with the first data compression scheme, transferring the data to a third system level; and
based upon the received data at the second system level being uncompressed with the first compression scheme, compressing the data with a second data compression scheme, and transferring the data compressed with the second data compression scheme to the third system level.
