While I agree that this speeds up the compression time alot, I think
it is Stuffit Deluxe's biggest shortcoming.  It is virtually unusable
in the background.  At least in comparison to Compactor Pro.  I think
Aladin really needs to look at their model for background operations.
I feel, IMHO, that the user interface of Stuffit Del. with the
performance of Com. Pro would make the best product.  I'm sure with
future revision both the interface and performace of both products
will improve.
