Flac - Dec 2010 - FLAC suddenly compresses more - why?

Hi guys,
I use EAC to save and compress my CD's to my network drive. In the past my 
compression to Flac was slightly worse than the file size shown by EAC. Now, 
since about two weeks ago, my compression ends up at about half the size of EAC 
i.e. I went from a compression ratio of approx 70% to a ratio of 30%. I get the 
feeling that the compression is somehow missing something. Or is the intial 
conversion to *.wav files not working properly?
Any help I can get on testing the process etc would be appreciated. 
Note: I removed EAC and reinstalled to the latest version, but the compression 
was still the "fantastic"30%.

Regards,
Rene

Sounds like your getting the default compression instead of a 
compression of level 8,
