The following tables can be used to calculate how attributes affect a files performance. To use the tables start with your multiplier at 1 and go down the table multiplying your multiplier by the value of the attribute. If an attribute is not listed under a section then it does not affect it. To calculate the size multiplier of a triple enhanced file we would get 1 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. The code section is a little different, the fixed value gets added instead of multiplied to the multiplier.

Server
Key information:
- All files have the same value per bit, ie 1GB of text files has the same value as 1GB of game files.
- If two files cant stack together then they are a separate variation.

A variations value is calculated using the following, where file_count is the total number of that file variation in storage, server_mult is that file types server value multiplier and var_value_mult is the value multiplier of that variations attributes:
variation.value = file_count * server_mult * var_value_mult

The value per bit for the server is calculated by the following, where variations are the variations in storage:
for variation in variations value += sqrt(variation.value) * 0.02

So should I be enhancing/compressing files?
Enhancing should only be used to increase the variation count as it has no effect on the value per bit.
Compression on the other hand increases your value per bit, since the value of a given variation is calculated using file count and not size and the server value multiplier stays the same for any variation of a file type.
