UPX is technology from the good ol' days, when people had tiny floppies and hard drives. There's no reason to use it nowadays. It slows down execution, takes more memory, may introduce vulnerabilities, etc. Just read about all the disadvantages of UPX here http://linux.die.net/man/1/upx.
Note that Fossil in CGI mode is executed for each request, so with UPX it would have to decompress itself on each request. The first time you run it, it may be faster (due to smaller disk reads compared to uncompressed version), but for each subsequent request, once Fossil is in RAM, it would be slower and require more CPU. -- Dmitry Chestnykh _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
