Obviously, it varies track to track.  Personally, I believe the difference is not that great but 8 takes a lot longer to do.  For me personally, 6 seems to be a reasonable time (effort) for a sufficient gain in space.  Anything higher is too long for not enough additional gain.

But, if space is your premium, you might feel differently.
