Firming the compression damping will reduce the squat effect when under power or on a 'rolling on throttle' through the bend.
That will in turn help to reduce the 'boat effect' and running wide.

Reducing the rebound will enable an easier and quicker return to 'normal' position
but this is fine tuning for your feel, at a particular circuit.

The Linear Spring Rate, Static and Rider Sag plus weight distribution, (read ride height/bike geometrics) have to be in the right ball park as a basis for the 'fine tuning'.
