Title: Performance issues

I'm sure this is a problem others have encounted. I
have now replace our suite of installsheild products with spanky new
WIX versions. I have managed to elimitnate a large amount of redundant
code (previous installers copied large amounts of file that were never
used). Most of the installers are now half the size in compressed form.
Dispite this the installation process now takes longer (so I'm told, I
intend to run some performance tests later today). Is there a standard
explaination for this that I can give to people (i.e. talk to city hall)
I am playing with the idea of having internal
versions (products that will only be used by testers and support staff)
as uncompressed in the hope that most of the time is being spent
extracting files.
Was the InstallShield package also compressed? Are the tests being run
over the network? Sometimes bandwidth constraints make it faster to
have a compressed image.
