Matroska Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Which settings did you use for SQX? Are the files uncompressed to begin with? That makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 ultra 32mb dictionary and yes the files are uncompressed, the 06 installer uses eazip on the files on the end users computer when I did just faces it was 38 vs 40 with SQX winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
