After adding this NuGet package to your Visual Studio Package project the build process will be updated and the .vsix file created will be compressed. The % of compression varies from project to project, but its common to see results from 40-70%. By having a smaller .vsix file when users downloads your extension it will be much quicker. For more info on VsixCompress take a look at http://sedodream.com/2013/06/08/IntroducingVsixCompressaNuGetPackageToCompressYourVisualStudioPackage.aspx. If you need to be able to execute this from a build (CI) server then you should read this post http://sedodream.com/2013/06/06/HowToSimplifyShippingBuildUpdatesInANuGetPackage.aspx.
