I have to comment on that.
The "--ultra-brute" Is Slow but it compress very good !
I did a test on holyday.exe from examples
After compile holyday.exe = 10.865.912 bytes
strip holyday.exe = 1.043.456 bytes
upxold --strip-relocs=1 holyday.exe = 317.440 bytes (UPX 1.25w)
upxold -9 --strip-relocs=1 holyday.exe 311.269 bytes (UPX 1.25w)
upx -9 --strip-relocs=1 holyday.exe 309.248 bytes (UPX 3.00w)
upx --brute --strip-relocs=1 holyday.exe 274.432 bytes (UPX 3.00w)
Going from 317.440 to 274.432 bytes is a good improvement.
Note that I only do win32 programming but why is it not for linux ? They
support dos + linux(PowerPc,i386,arm) + more file types.
