[Flac] FLAC: recommended compression

[Harry Sack]

Hi,

Why is -5 the recommended compression for the FLAC encoder? So my question
is: why is a lower compression recommended over a higher compression (-8)?
What factors make -5 the "recommended" one, even if the compression is lower
then the -8 option?

I hope somebody can explain this

thanks in advance!
