Hi Wolfgang,

I think that compressing the operating system would slow things down 
alot. We would end up with a slow system like WIndows, which would 
require 4Ghz machies to make it look and feel reasonable.

I think stick as we are now, writting the operating system uncompressed 
and in assembler.
