Subject: Poser & XP file compression?

Because I use my drive array for video editing, and XPps file compression can cause a lag resulting in dropped frames when playing multiple video streams in real time, I had not been using any compression on the drives.

Recently though, Ive started applying XPs compression to selected, non-video, folders, including my main Poser 4 runtime and subfolders.

Q: Can this cause any potential problems that you guys have seen or heard of?

Although the space savings were significant, (my P4 folder shrunk by over a third and my external Textures folder by about a fifth), Ive started noticing brief, unexpected lags when using Poser and am assuming it is a result of the XP compression, but, not sure if perhaps I am just more aware of lags that were already there.

Any thoughts or observations?
