Yes, but..... If you reduce the compression level then the disk will be hit harder, which means that your io load will go up. About compression: There is no need to use compression if the client's connection to server is 1Gb/s or faster and not much point at 100Mb/s. (Compression frequently slows things down at higher speeds as the CPU becomes a bottleneck. Using it is a tradeoff.) Compression is one of those things best only used for backups across a WAN. If you myst use it, then _benchmark_ things with and without. Most of the time where you think it will benefit communications on the wire you will find it actually penalises throughput. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
