Re: Optimizing size of executable

In my experience, in most instances, an executable file compressed with UPX is actually smaller than a corresponding shrouded *.il file.
1108 wee.il 856 wee -- 23% smaller when Translated/Compiled/packed with UPX 176 euc_compress.il 144 euc_compress -- 18% smaller when Translated/Compiled/packed with UPX
However, shrouding even a program as large as the WEE editor is almost instantaneous whereas the translation/compile/pack cycle takes about 150 seconds on my computer. I think that is very very good.
