Compression test?

Hi all, I am a soon to be 3rd Gen owner. I have read a bit about compression tests. Can someone please tell me what exactly they are and where is the best place to have it done? Also, what should it cost? Thanks a ton.

Also check out my page... http://www.zeroglabs.com/rx7/compression.htm for pictures and use of the older style graphing type tester (which I think is a little better than the digital type anyhow).

I bought mine brand new (from 1974, never used) from some rotary motorcycle website. I don't remember where... and I think I got the last one or two of them anyhow.
