It affects the compression algorithm used on the text. The huffdic algorithm, in general, will compress more than the standard DOC compression. If your book is text only, it'll probably make quite a bit of difference. But if most of the size of your book is from the illustrations, the effect will be less noticeable.
I'd always use the huddfic compression for a file I'm uploading to Amazon. But while I'm tweaking a book and testing it, I always use -c0 (no compression), as it's so much quicker to compile the book.
