Do you mean compression or scaling?
The compression is handled by either ImageMagick or the GD extension and depends on the image format (some doesn't have compression).

Scaling is done when calling the ImagMagick executable (or in PHP code when using GD).
These files are stored inside the <i>var/storage</i> directory in a subdirectory depending on if it is in a version or not.

<i>/images</i> is used when the object is published, it will place the image in a path taken from the URL alias of the object.
<i>/images-versioned</i> is used when editing an object (ie a specific version), at that time the path is not known and the image is stored only under the object/version combination.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Which description are you referring to?
Do you mean that the list of aliases is not updated when uploading the new image?

Scaling is done on the original image when it is uploaded if it is defined, if not it is only moved.
For the rest of the aliases it is done the first time it is accessed by the template or PHP code.
