Speed is a reason not to use -8.  -8 compression takes much much longer
than the default which if I remember correctly is -5.  Sure your files
are smaller but not by much.  Less than a 1% space savings.  Course the
last time I ran a comparison between the 2 settings was several versions
ago.  Maybe they have changed it.

Nice thing about FLAC and other lossless formats is you can always
re-encode and not lose anything.
