### Compression levels
The encoder supports multiple compression "effort" levels using the "-level X" command line option, which (along with -q or manually setting the codebook sizes) controls the tradeoff between encoding time and overall quality. The default is level 1, which is the best overall balance between encoding speed vs. overall quality. Here's a graph showing the encoding time and average quality across 59 images for each level:
