Time to uncompress 1GB is about 20 minutes.
Time to uncompress whole disk is about 16 hours (lot of small files).
Partition will then be nearly full, and it will also need defragging.
Time to recompress once RollbackRX is installed, 16 hours.
Now the partition will certainly be fragmented.

Step 2:
So how do you advise defragging? I saw uninstall RollbackRX.
Uninstall RollbackRx, defrag. Reinstall RollbackRx -- oh no back to step 1.

Even ignoring fragmentation, 32 hours of HD trashing is too long to tolerate.

Looks like a good product, but sorry I think poor compression support is a killer for me.
