The Compression section includes the following settings:
| Setting | Description | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| gzip compression level | This setting allows you to set the gzip compression level for pigz, which is a gzip-compatible program that uses multiple CPU cores simultaneously. Higher settings provide greater compression, but compress more slowly. |
|
6 |
| Number of pigz processes | This setting allows you to set how many independent pigz processes the system uses to perform gzip compression. For the best performance, we recommend that you set this value to match the number of processor cores that are available on your server. |
|
This setting defaults to the number of processor cores on your server. |
| Number of kilobyte chunks per compression work unit | This setting allows you to control the size, in 1024-byte chunks, of compression work units that the system distributes to each pigz process. |
