Can  someone give me the Pros & Cons of using the compression facility of  
WinXP?

Specifically, will compression adversely effect application  speed?

I had just 2 GB of space left on my 80 GB hard drive.  Compressed it  and 
came up with 32GB of 'free' space.  No slow down in the operation  either.  
Have 
DSL which of course works much faster than  'dial-up'.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
