Currently it is only possible to set compression to store on a "win" target. When building NSIS targets it is not possible to set this in the config as the builder errors out with it being an invalid option.
I think this option will help with development cycles and especially while developers are getting used to all the settings to test.
Testing
I tested hardcoding -mx=0 and -mmt=on inside app-builder-lib's out/targets/archive.js and saw the time it was taking to build my test NSIS build decrease by more than 50%, sometimes 70%. Further the size difference for my basic build was 119MB vs. 123MB so there wasn't much to gain there in my case. I could not get this to do the same with portable.
