Anyone use UPX yet?

Just wondering if anyone has used UPX on their Q yet to compress any software like Opera. If so, which applications have you compressed successfully?

Indeed as on every Wm device I do

Surprisingly, if I remember it did nothing on Opera. No change in file size.

But other than that, just about every program I can think of (all the majors) it works and works well.

Octro is a perfect example where the file size is reduced literally by 2/3. Makes an already responsive program even faster.

I'd say go ahead and try what you want. More than likely you'll see improvements rather than issues.
