 Hitting all the ".dll" files in K-meleon with UPX will 
compress the files making them smaller, lighter.
K-Meleon1.6.0_Beta2 before UPX is "size 23.8 MB (24,959,481 bytes)"
And after UPX is "size 14.9 MB (15,632,889 bytes)"
 Thats not to bad! It can be used on other files Java, Flash etc.
But I would not do any windows system files!

I'm against the UPX file compression because it reduces the disk space, but double the memory space required and its execution time is more slow because system need time to uncompress the files.
For example if you have standard (uncompressed) KM 1.6b2 "size 23.8 MB (24,959,481 bytes)" you only needed 24 MB of memory space to run KM.
But if you have KM 1.6b2 UPXized (compressed) you need the physical stored file "size 14.9 MB (15,632,889 bytes)" compressed + uncompress "size 23.8 MB (24,959,481 bytes)" of memory to run the same KM more slow because you need the uncompress time.

Total you need 40 MB of memory to run KM more slowly, this isn't a good business.
Almost UPX file compression can produced some problems in some systems.[/quote]
