A compressor can come on at any time.

Not really. It will only come on if the pressure drops below the cut in
pressure. Quite predictable actually.

Yes, I understand the compressor could kick on even when it's not in
use, but
remember that "best practice" is to shut the compressor down and
drain the
water at the end of the day. If it cycles on, when not in use, once
a day,
then you have a pretty considerable air leak somewhere.

Are you saying that you never use your compressor in the same day as
your saw?

No, but his point is valid. The compressor is not going to come on just
because it's sitting there. If you're not using it to drain down the
pressure, it's not going to come on unless you have a leak. Best to fix the
leak.
