Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a read request on a first cache system, wherein the read request identifies previously-written content included within a data array. If the previously-written content identified in the read request is stored within the first cache system in a compressed format, and the previously-written content identified in the read request is stored within the data array in an uncompressed format; a determination is made as to if it is less computationally expensive to obtain from the data array the previously-written content in an uncompressed format.
