Probably depends on your cpu. If you are struggling the decompression can kill you. (Single core/dual core cpu's; low STR)
But I think avih or somebody in his thread said once that it can even speed up due to better caching.

Might just give that a whirl. My ISO folder is running over 130GB now. Might be handy to compress some of these.
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.60~4.20 GHz | Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3200
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super @ 6 GB | Samsung 980 1TB | Windows 10 Pro x64 (22H2)

Thank for explanation.
Slow HDD need to less read when file is compressed, thats advantage indeed.
Updated test
My test on MOH Frontline US
ISO: 3,15GB
CSO: 2,73GB >>>maxcso default <<<very slow
CSO: 2,65GB >>>maxcso --block=16384 --fast <<<fast
CSO: 2,63GB >>>maxcso --block=16384 <<<very slow
GZIP: 2,62GB >>>pigz -9 level <<<fast
ISZ: 2,62GB <<<fast
GZIP: 2,60GB >>>7zip Maximum compression <<<reasonable speed
Latest version of pigz on github can cope now with >4GB files.

its best to use --block=16384 with maxcso as well, unknownbrackets recommended that setting for PS2 games.
