What it does: When you generate your outersite, OutSite-In packages all your files and data into a single file. Through this option, you can compress the files and data when creating this output file.
Higher levels compress better but take longer doing so, and may also require more memory while compressing/decompressing.
The algorithms available are those of the InnoSetup free installer (Jordan Russell).
zip is the method of compression employed by .zip files ("deflate"). It is fast in both compression and decompression, and has very low memory requirements (less than 1 MB for both compression and decompression at level 9), but generally does not compress nearly as well as the other supported methods. zip has one unique property, though: unlike the other methods, it will not expand uncompressible data (e.g., files that are already compressed).
bzip is the method of compression employed by the bzip2 compressor. It almost always compresses better than zip but is usually slower in both compression and decompression. Up to 4 MB of memory is required during decompression, and up to 8 MB during compression.
lzma is the method of compression employed by the 7-Zip LZMA compressor. It typically compresses significantly better than the zip and bzip methods. However, depending on the compression level used, it can be significantly slower at compressing, and consume a lot more memory.
none specifies that no compression be used.
