This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
>After updating our application (vfp9 sp2) to the latest version of XFRX, we noticed that our compiled exe’s have a much lower compression rate. The size of the generated exe’s and included xfrx files remained about the same, but while before we could compress the files to 20% of the original size, now it’s just 80%. This makes our updates a lot bigger and harder to transfer over the internet.

When you compile the .exe there is an option you can select "encrypt" - I *think* if that is checked then it doesn't compress very well - perhaps that is causing it?
