      <para>Compression operations usually involve a tradeoff between the speed and the effectiveness of compression. You use the <see cref="T:System.IO.Compression.CompressionLevel" /> enumeration to indicate which factor is more important in your development scenario: the time to complete the compression operation or the size of the compressed file. These values do not correspond to specific compression levels; the object that implements compression determines how to handle them.</para>
      <para>The following methods of the <see cref="T:System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream" />, <see cref="T:System.IO.Compression.GZipStream" />, <see cref="T:System.IO.Compression.ZipArchive" />, <see cref="T:System.IO.Compression.ZipFile" />, and <see cref="T:System.IO.Compression.ZipFileExtensions" /> classes include a parameter named compressionLevel that lets you specify the compression level:</para>
