As per the following TechNet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj628105.aspx#BKMK_Compress

 

"this option adds to the CPU load on both the DPM server and protected computers. The amount of compression and improvement on network performance depends on workload. Compression is enabled at the protection group level and applies to replica creation, synchronization, and consistency check operations. Recovery jobs also use compression."
