Whether they are all uncompressed after an OS/400 install/upgrade or not
depends on the percentage of free disk space on the machine,  If there
isn't enough (and I don't recall exactly what the threshold was set at,
whether it was maybe 70% or so many MB of free space) the stay compressed
until needed.  If there is sufficient free space these tasks decompress
them after install to improve performance when the object are used by
avoiding the wait for decompresion.

The "evil empire" strikes again :-) trying to sell more DASD, eh?
It used to be that objects were only uncompressed the
first time they were used. Very sensible, but maybe some
people complained about mysterious "slow downs" at
random times.
