**Quote -**Is there any reason besides file archival ocd reasons why I shouldn't use the file compression option when saving a file? Is there a noticable speed difference between compressed/fully expanded files when saving/opening?

Thanks!

I've been using file compression with poser for years now with no problems. I'm on i7 right now with 16gb ram.   Compressed i'm up to about 180gb of poser files, if it was uncompressed it would A LOT more.

You could not use file compression and allocate like 1tb to your posr files and see where you go from there. It's easy to turn it on and tick save to compress in the future.
