Hi Everyone,
The compression of publications were always great when you were building CD based projects that ran from a disc on the fly. Is there any difference in run speed having your publication compressed or uncompressed when running from a modern computer and the file being installed on your hard drive. Or does everyone compress their publications?
This is what the help file says:

The Publish process allows you to specify a compression setting for your publication. It may seem that uncompressed publications can be read quicker and therefore start more quickly. However, this is NOT the case. The decompression of a compressed publication will take place in memory while the The bottleneck in running a publication is loading it from disk (especially from CD) . Thus a publication will actually load quicker the more it is compressed but note that this can extend the time taken to publish the file quite considerably.
