What's the problem with UPX?
I see no reason for EXE compression in this era - for DOS, small partitions and floppy disks, it was vital but only if the decompressor was fast enough (slow CPU's, too!), otherwise you would've lost during decompression the time that you won by the shorter disk access. However, e.g. some distribution packages of MPlayer recommend compressing the executable - it's an option you can tick during installation and then the installer will compress the EXE's, stored uncompressed in the package. For what reason...?
