In reality, it's not so simple. What's faster, grabbing many bytes off a disk, or grabbing half as many?
I/O is a major bottleneck. Compressing data could well be faster, although you'll get more CPU usage.
Of course, if all you do (like a lot of us) is store images, movies, music, and archives, disk compression is retarded.
