    The speed of the decompression can be increased with compressing the
file with a different compression type.  Decompress it and then compress it
again using another type of compression.  I think I have the slow
compression but fast decompression using AWGS and it comes up in under a
minute.  Of course, if you are not compressing all of your fonts and tools
and the other stuff the AWGS uses, when it comes up, it comes up faster.

I don't own HardPressed, and have heard only a few things about it. What's
this about "Different" kinds of compression and decompression. Does the
speed of the de/compression affect how much space you save?
