That can be done, just a few files and a bunch of reggies...

its good to hope

This project is great, I was looking for a way to remove all the crud from windows to make it my gaming OS ( I use linux as my mainstream OS) and I found this, which is what I wanted and more.

By the way is this going to be released soon or should I install normal windows for the time being?

UPX.

i started compressing FF and TB exe's/dll's and noticed a significant decrease in load times, plus the space savings. you just have to be careful what switches you use.

Dude, if u wanna open an upx compressed exe, the loadtime isnt faster, coss it hass to decompress the exe first, and then launch it... Check their website.

fridge , ok just as I thought

this guy left me all confuesed and stuff

never though compressing somethng could make it faster either

I did that some time ago, and I can confirm it makes loading and even browsing in Firefox a bit faster. But it requires more CPU when starting up, I think. Maybe also when rendering web pages.

hmm interesting

should this work with optimised firefox too?

cause its already dammmnn fast

like 1/3 or 1/8 the load times of regular firefox , they even got one for thurderbird, i just grabed it now, also, much faster load times

you should really check them out, http://www.moox.ws/tech/mozilla/

launching execuatable, windows places executable in memmory --> it launches

with upx

launchin executable, decompressing to memmory --> it launches

Checked other forums as well, its only a space saver on ur harddisk, cause it eats even more memmory according to some :/

i UPX'd all of FF exe's and dll's i can state for a fact that load time has decreased by about 1 second, both cold and warm. warm is now right about 2 seconds with quite a few plugins. this is without windows prefetching. i never checked CPU usage however.

ok, first load on my computer is 2 seconds, warm boot isn't even 1 second, maybe 1/8th a second, so i think its all good for me to not bother with it

are you using the optimised firefox builds yet?

I have to say that I'm looking forward to a USB-thumbdrive version of Windows XP, that isn't based on the Embedded XP's... This project is inspiration for all of us that have tried things like this ourselves, and failed....
