That's the quality setting. A lower number means better quality (and higher file size).
20 is good for most purposes. I leave it there.
Small movements can do a lot. If you want to experiment, I would move by just 1.0 at a time and then judge the results. Setting it below 19 for better quality makes very big files. Setting it higher than 21-22 will make smaller files, but you may not be happy with the quality.
