Description
The synapse_auto_compressor is already a huge improvement, but it would be nice to be able to prioritize handling the largest rooms first, as from my experience those are usually the rooms with the biggest compression gains.
After processing the (x largest) rooms once in that order, the tool can be set up automatically in the current fashion, just looking at newer groups (as I understand it does?)

Research direction
Start by reading the synapse_auto_compressor entry point and its current handling of newer groups. Determine how room selection and ordering work; done means the tool can process a configured number of largest rooms first, then retain its current behavior for newer groups.
