Certain tables contain A LOT of duplicate data, it makes sense to enable
compressed row format on them by default. I've seen 5-10 fold reduction
in DB size after enabling compressed format on select few tables.
This has some performance overhead:
- both compressed and uncompressed pages live in buffer pool.
- compression/decompression
Note:
- These cons don't apply much on DocTypes I am enabling this for.
- I am not enabling this on existing sites, migration can take a long
time! Do it manually with `transform-database` command if you want to.
