How many duplicate pages really are there? This has a lot of
downside; it roughly doubles the size of each page's metadata, and
while tree lock is held, it checksums each new page contents,
decompresses the matching page (if found), and then memcmp's the new
and decompressed pages. I'm very skeptical the benefits would
outweigh the performance (and possibly memory) disadvantages.

this is adding quite a bit of overhead for each page stored, roughly
doubling the size of each (unique) entry's metadata.

you don't actually check if ret == -EEXIST...

why unlock and then immediately relock the tree?
