I use the uncompressed setting for different reasons.
The 2 main resaons are

1st Using a version control system, which also connects bookkeeping with
other business steps, there always the difference in the files
accessible which belongs to the according business actions.

2nd I generally think that compression (as well as encryption asf) is a
task which doesn't belong to the particular application but is better
situated at file system level or storage level. Therfor I'm using
compression at these levels with different implementations at different
machines (desktop vs NAS vs backup media).
