Installation time is basically the same. The only disadvantage AFR has is that the temp files will be very big (game size * 2 at least) because it has no stdin support for compression (unlike oo2recX, which has stdin support), means same less hdd load. Oh and the big advantage oo2recX has, that you can practically compress the whole game at once in one go (AFR can only process forge files, so you have to split the files in file types or use masking, with oo2recX you don't need to do this, like with XTool).

Thats really nice, specially when you have to install it on a SSD which usually are smaller. I didnt compress anything for various months because i was a bit busy with work, i will check out the new tools (my xtool is still on v0.9) and set up the configs (hope i still remember how to do all stuff haha). Will do Odyssey and Origins too but with Lolz as always. I didnt updated Odyssey to 1.4.0 yet, waiting for Monday for the last episode of Fate of Atlantis, still the last update is big as hell.

Thanks KaktoR !!!
