Hi Michelle, We agree compression could help a lot to manage your memory consumption. Generally one would expect a tradeoff between storage and responsiveness. However, while we do not have any benchmarks to publish now, anecdotally from our experience we have found around 10-20+ compression depending on the data type, size, and columns types. Often with no significant difference in speed when creating or rendering basic report elements such as bar/line charts, crosstabs, sliders, etc. Some actions such as adding data can actually be faster while actions with some calculations such as in a scatter plot or box plot can be up to 2-3x slower (not bad for 20x memory usage improvement). The exact trade off equation depends on many factors including the make up of your daata, so we encourage you to run your own tests to decide when to take advantage of this new feature. Cheers, Justin
