Hello. I have the following scenario:
A 100MB bmp file that gets compressed to 6MB using NTFS built-in compression. Now my question is, will I save disk cache space even if reading speed is the same/slower? Is there any point to use NTFS compression at all?
I think yes but I am not sure. When compressing games a get a lot of GB back. For instance, I compressed my Steam folder and I got 7GB more of free space. I have also noticed less disk thrashing after exitting a game. Could this mean I am saving disk cache space? How can I look at it? Can Resource monitor display this?
