Default FLAC - Speed & Comression factor

Hmmm ... a bit confused since I thought that as long as i compressed in FLAC , there where no really options in this format (as there are with MP3). But when I started to compress today, using Winamp 5.531, I had several options. What do they really do?

Speed: choose from 0.5 - 8
What happen if I crank this one up as much as possible?

Compression factor: choose fast encoding --- best compression
Ceartinly I choose best compression, but why are ther more options?

Can anyone tell me what to do.

Thanks guys!
