- MA.>Wouldn't putting Windows on a stacker drive speed up performance?

- .Nope...Stacker compresses (or tries to) everything...whatever is on the
- .stacker drive will have too be decompressed first...hence, any disk
- .i/o operations will take a tad bit longer.

- You seem to conveniently ignore the fact that you're only reading about
- 60% as much data from the disk, assuming a typical Stacker compression.
- On most 386 and above machines, software Stacker's overhead isn't really
- noticeable, some folks actually claim an increase in disk access speed.
