I just got TimesTwo v1.0 in the mail this weekend and spent a few hours
installing it last night.  This is on a Powerbook 100's internal 40M 
drive.  The installation is easy, but be warned, the installer writes to
the original disk after the install is through. IE, the personalization
info is written to the original disk.

The 40M drive had 38M on it when I ran the installer.  Now the finder
says that there is 59M on disk and 20.xM free.  I'm not sure why the
amount on disk is higher than before, but I suspect that the fact that
I had a lot of things DiskDoubler'ed and about 10M worth of Compactor
archives is the culprit.  Perhaps they got bigger when x2 tried to 
compress them again?  I tried out decompressing some DD files (DD init
stopped working for some reason but DD App kicked in) but the space
free went down as it would normally.

Speed.  There is definitely a noticable slowdown in all disk accesses.
This is not unbearably slow, however. Things just aren't as snappy.
I'd say that it makes disk accesses look sorta like Mac Plus speeds.
Hopefully, it'll be faster on my SE/030, since I have noticed that
compression is one of the things that the 68000 in the PB100 is really
slow at (judging from Compact Pro and DD).  Unfortunately, the drive 
needs to be backed up and reformatted if you want to remove x2, so 
take any benchmarks BEFORE you install!

More later as I get more experience with TimesTwo.
