Home NAS devices are very CPU limited so compressing files is the last thing you want to do.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but I thought the machine that's going to be compressing and decompressing is my workstation/desktop, so the CPU that will be taxed is that one, no? How does it then have anything to do with the CPU in my NAS?
Yes that is correct, if you are taking files from the NAS then compressing them on your local machine then uncompressing them on the same local machine then putting them on the external USB drive, why compress/uncompress at all ? At the end of the day you are still moving uncompressed data across the network so you are just adding extra steps with tar...
