Does anyone have any opinions of TimesTwo, and any comparative 
experience with, say, SpaceSaver? My hard drives are starting to 
run low on space (which means I ought to get ruthless with the 
crap...), but I figure I might as well look into software
solutions.

So, how's the reliability of these suckers?  I really hate crashes...
I'm running a IIsi--is speed a concern?  Would an fpu help any? 
What are the compression ratios like?  Would I do just as well to
use compact pro (which i've already paid for) on the stuff I never 
use, but don't really want to get rid of?

On a somewhat related note, does a shareware disk optimiser exist?
