MORE INFORMATION
When a file is requested, the compressed copy is stored in a temporary folder, and then sent when further requests are received. Files are not compressed prior to receiving a request for them.

Note: By default, the temporary folder is C:\WINNT\IIS Temporary Compressed Files. This is specified on the Service tab in the WWW Service Master Properties for  dialog box in the IIS snap-in.
