FFREDIANELLI Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hi Friends , in my vcl application i usualy compress my executables with 'upx', that reduce the size of exe to 25% of the original size, i was wondering if with dll will be the same thing, and the answer is yes, at my first test without any bad inpact in load time and execution. So i wold like to know if someone else use this with unigui and found some problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgreat Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 What for? To save few megabytes of server disk space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdown Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I believe that at most you will have problems with antivirus. Just as you should face in VCL applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFREDIANELLI Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 What for? To save few megabytes of server disk space? I will have a menu in my ERP (like i have in vcl) with between 40 to 50 dll that are loaded as the option chosed in menu (different parts of the system) , the most slow function is load the files from disk to memory if isapi have to read 6 mb against 25 the impact is big. The same thing to update this dlls in development time when as usual i copy to the server the a lot of times... of course that the final memory used is the same but a big impact in load time, life time of expensive disks of server, just as some reasons.

I never had antivirus problems , i use upx and aspack at least 15 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mika Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I never had antivirus problems , i use upx and aspack at least 15 year. Really? That's odd because I have used UPX only couple of times and at least on one occasion, virus scanner went off because of it. It was years ago and if I remember correctly, I used Norton Antivirus back then. Anyway, in my opinion, saving few megabytes is not worth it.
