A Warp25 file should not be that large...you must have done something wrong. Warp25 files should end up 6% larger than the original file (approximately). And they load pretty darn near 25x the speed of an unmodified 1541 with no fastloader. Of course, that's like saying a leerjet is faster than a snail. Warp25 usually runs about 5x faster than most "normal" fast loaders. Here's a non-objective comparison: Normal 1541 1x - Base speed of measure. Epyx FastLoad 5x faster. JiffyDOS 5-15x faster. Action Replay 5-7x faster. Super Snapshot 7-10x faster. Vorpal / Warp25 / Turbo*25 25x faster. RapiDOS Pro Incredible, but who can afford it? -- begin 644 .signature G5&AI
