Egghead software is selling a program called "Stacker" which uses
compression to "double" the capacity of hard disks.  It is related to
the add-in board the same company (Stac) sells which does the same
thing.  Obviously the software is going to have more of an impact on
performance than the hardware would.  Has anyone tried Stacker?  How
much does it slow disk access down?  Thanks.
