UPX does have it's downsides. Firstly I've found that whatever header it uses at the start of an executable isn't VGA compatable and programs like iGo 2006 don't like it at all and give a black screen and nothing else. Some programs (like Acrobat Reader) do not like being compressed or having any of their libraries being compressed.

As always with this kind of thing YMMV. I'm just waiting for them to work the bugs out of it to work a bit better, sure it works well but it has some issues.
