/*! @page tune_compression Compression
WiredTiger includes a number of optional compression techniques. Configuring
compression generally decreases on-disk and in-memory resource requirements
and the amount of I/O, and increases CPU cost when rows are read and written.
Configuring compression may change application throughput. For example,
in applications using solid-state drives (where I/O is less expensive),
turning off compression may increase application performance by reducing
CPU costs; in applications where I/O costs are more expensive, turning on
compression may increase application performance by reducing the overall
number of I/O operations.
An example of turning on row-store key prefix compression:
@snippet ex_all.c Configure key prefix compression on
An example of turning on row-store or column-store dictionary compression:
@snippet ex_all.c Configure dictionary compression on
See @ref file_formats_compression for more information on available
compression techniques.
