This metabase property specifies the compression level for the compression scheme, when the scheme is compressing dynamic content. Low compression levels produce slightly larger compressed files, but with lower overall impact on CPU and memory resources. Higher compression levels generally result in smaller compressed files but higher CPU and memory usage.
The Web service must be restarted for any changes to this property take effect.
