Here's another StuffIt Deluxe gripe...

I just needed to compress a 2.2 MB PostScript file to fit on an 800K floppy.
I didn't have Compact Pro on my machine, so I used DiskDoubler 3.1 (from the DD
menu in the Finder). It took about 30 seconds to compress the file down to
467K. Curious to see what SD 2.0.1 would do, I ran it and compressed the
file in "Best" mode. It took 34 minutes (!) and compressed the file down
to 511K!

I think Aladdin has some serious work to do here...
