MS recommends against compressing files that get frequent writes. Looks like at best there's not much performance loss, but no gain. Search for "compression" in the link.
Lots of netbook users use NTFS compression as well, since they're constrained to like 4GB SSDs. I wouldn't think performance is a high priority there either.
