If you compress it will slow down everything as it has to compress it when writing to the hard drive and then "decompress" when accessing it on the hard drive.
With the price of hard drives, if you need more hard drive space buy a larger capacity drive or install an additional drive.
Years ago when a 40 MB hard drive was a "large" drive, things such as compression were commonly used. Now, with terrabyte drives common (and relatively cheap) there is no need for it.
