Thank you. Actually I read in many blogs(for e.g in below doc) stating there is "minimal performance overhead" with advanced compression, so this 100% degradation surprised me and thus wanted to check if this is expected behaviour or if I am checking it wrong. And at the same time , why is the HCC compression(compress for query low) experiencing zero performance overhead?
