I think  mine are a tad better, but I have a lot of jazz and classical
which are rumoured to compress better than pop.

Actually, the higher number just tells the program/algorithm to take
more time to try to get a better compression. It may not actually
decrease the size at all. And it sure takes a lot longer.

As long as you kick it off and do something else, there is not much
downside from cranking up the parameter, but I usually use 5 or 6.
