* `:namespace` - This option can be used to create a namespace within the cache store. It is especially useful if your application shares a cache with other applications.
-* `:compress` - This option can be used to indicate that compression should be used in the cache. This can be useful for transferring large cache entries over a slow network.
+* `:compress` - Enabled by default. Compresses cache entries so more data can be stored in the same memory footprint, leading to fewer cache evictions and higher hit rates.
-* `:compress_threshold` - This option is used in conjunction with the `:compress` option to indicate a threshold under which cache entries should not be compressed. This defaults to 16 kilobytes.
+* `:compress_threshold` - Defaults to 1kB. Cache entries larger than this threshold, specified in bytes, are compressed.
* `:expires_in` - This option sets an expiration time in seconds for the cache entry when it will be automatically removed from the cache.
