Compression Ratio Connection to Efficiency

[Tawaffles]

Hi.

I was wondering if anyone had ever done a relationship analysis of compression ratio in relationship to efficiency. I have heard that higher compression ratio can often relate to efficiency, but I was hoping to find some kind of graph correlation on it, however I haven't been able to find anything.

Would anyone be able to give me some input on this?
