How the quality setting is interpreted depends upon the compression type.
For lossless compression types, this likely won't make a difference.
For JPEG-2000 Lossy, this is the encoding bit rate.
Some initial experimentation with the N5 pyramid converted from 1.isyntax suggests that --compression "JPEG-2000 Lossy" --quality 5.0 doesn't noticeably reduce the file size compared to the default quality of 10.0, but setting the quality to 1.0 or less rapidly reduces the file size.
