I'm not familiar with UPX compression so it might invalidate what I'm about to say. However it can be beneficial for performance if you fit more of your executable into CPU cache (actual results may vary based on access patterns and many other factors)
- makapuf 6y agoUPX is just a (nice) compresser for binaries, where running the executable really runs a small decompressor on the binary, gets a binary in ram and runs it. So your binary is not smaller in cache when executed.
