	It will also feature two new compression methods (Optimal and Best
Guess) which fall between Fast and Better on the compression/speed scale.
Best Guess will get you Better compression, at about 30% increase in speed
over Better.
	There are also other improvements across the board including significant
speed ups.  Speed is currenty our _#1 priority_ for this release and we have
had Ray implement a number of things which have given SD MUCH BETTER speed
scores when compared with Compactor/DD at the same levels of compression.
