Al, do you mean because needed objects will have to be un-compressed?  I
was under the impression that I could safely compress 'everything.'  Then,
as objects are actually -used-, they will be uncompressed and will be left
uncompressed.

I realize that compressing things in QSYS is something not for the
faint-hearted, but as far as user data and program product libraries are
concerned, will compressing things really cause that much trouble?

Doesn't IBM ship the operating system in compressed format, and only
uncompress the parts needed?  Or does it uncompress whatever it has room
for?
