This has been known for well over a decade: volumes that use NTFS compression deliver performance increases as high as 50 percent over their uncompressed counterparts, depending on the type of data stored on the volumes

- Groxx 17y ago* ahem * From the article you linked: This performance seemed too good to be true until I monitored CPU utilization during a subsequent run of the same benchmarks on a compressed NTFS volume. The CPU utilization on the test jumped from an average of 10 to 18 percent on the uncompressed NTFS volume to a whopping 30 to 80 percent on the compressed NTFS volume. And most importantly (immediately after the above, separated for extra emphasis): In addition, performance significantly decreased when I used NTFS compression on larger volume sizes (4GB or greater) and software-based, fault-tolerant RAID volumes. Methinks we're over the 4GB mark now. The article is too old to be considered accurate any more.
