You're not always "fast booting" windows 10. When you restart/reboot, for example, it must read all those files from the disk.
You'll get a performance boost by reading compressed data off the (slow) disk and expanding it in (fast) memory.
This can effectively increase read speeds greatly (reading a 2mb file off disk but it expands to 3mb's for example, that 3rd mb came almost "for free").
