I don't know about W95 but there are OSs which seem to run some jobs faster with compression. This seems plausible because on fast machines it is the transfer of data over the bus which takes times. The CPU is simply faster (if the OS allows it to work properly...) and this is the place where the extracting of compressed data takes place. Christoph Eyrich eyrich@zedat.fu-berlin.de
