Compacting is a Thunderbird housekeeping process and is a direct result of the Mbox format flat file database that Thunderbird uses to store mails. Compacting should really never get mentioned, like most garbage collection processes it should just do it's job and never be spoken of, unfortunately it is a process that impacts quite heavily on the use of Thunderbird while it is occurring, so instead of it being a task we never hear about it get mentioned far to often.
