Not done any extensive research into this , but I tried a couple of
experiments with this with Vista a while back- noticed a slight slowdown the
first time, but no major slow down the second. Nothing conclusive.
I wouldn't personally advise it with your system partition, though, unless
you're majorly short of space. Compress other partitions containing data
etc, sure.
A pretty much pointless exercise to compress your drive. Performance hit
would probably be noticeable indeed. I may be wrong but stuff would need to
be uncompressed to use anyway.
You would also increase your overheads with all the work it would have to
do.
