Note the following:
The Minimize Disk Space option can in fact reduce performance depending on the nature of the data, so it should only be used if there is a lack of disk space and slower performance would be acceptable.
If you use an output entity from a compressed project as the input to a new project, the project will inherit the entity's compressed data processing setting (Minimize Disk Space).
You can compress data in your project while also configuring specific processes in the project to run using pipes, further minimizing the disk space required for the process. If you use pipes when you run the entire project, you do not need to minimize disk space using data compression.
