Thanks Franz,

I have just tried the program on TCB, and, as I expected, it does not speed it
up at all. I think the purpose of the program is to reduce the size of the exe.
It may accelerate initial loading a little, but it does not accelerate normal
execution at all.

upx is much more efficient for this kind of task, if anyone is interested:
