I understand that the higher the compression the longer it takes to compress/decompress. So a file compressed more will download faster, but it would take longer to if you were to open them up on a viewer. I could be wrong though. -- Daniel Carrera | OpenPGP fingerprint: Graduate TA, Math Dept | 6643 8C8B 3522 66CB D16C D779 2FDD 7DAC 9AF7 7A88 UMD (301) 405-5137 | http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/pgp.html
