Disk storage is cheap. Disk bandwidth or throughput is very expensive.
Sure, but in my experience using Windows File System compression is not
a win here. Presumably if it were an unqualified win they would have it
turned on everywhere. The fact that there's an option is a good
indication that it isn't in many cases. It is most commonly used for
files like executables that are in effect read-only - but that doesn't
help us.
