Does anyone know what the pros and cons are of compressing textures? Presumably there must have been a discussion about this somewhere but google doesn't seem to find one.

Obviously uncompressed textures look better and compressed ones are smaller, but beyond that is there any difference? Does it affect performance, or does the game require compression for certain types of texture?
