+@item --compression[=@var{level}]
+@itemx -C [@var{level}]
+Compress data using the given @var{level}. When @var{level} is zero,
+disable compression. The range 1 to 9 corresponds to different gzip
+compression levels: 1 is the fastest, and 9 is the best (CPU-intensive).
+The default is 3.
+
+Note compression occurs on the fly and the compressed streams are not
+cached. Thus, to reduce load on the machine that runs @command{guix
+publish}, it may be a good idea to choose a low compression level, or to
+run @command{guix publish} behind a caching proxy.
