It takes hours to compress the old files. If anyone knows how to remove this "feature" from disk cleanup, please post it.

I would like to get rid of it as well. I haven't seen a tweak to do it. It can't be to difficult to keep it from checking everytime you run disk cleanup.

If you are asking why disk clean up stalls when it is figuring how much space you can recover it's because it is figuring how much space you would gain by compressing the drive. Which you probably don't want to do anyway.
