=head2 NOTES FOR WIN32/PE
The PE support in B<UPX> is quite stable now, but probably there are
still some incompabilities with some files.
still some incompatibilities with some files.
Because of the way B<UPX> (and other packers for this format) works, you
can see increased memory usage of your compressed files because the whole
program is loaded into memory at startup.
If you start several instances of huge compressed programs you're
wasting memory because the common segements of the program won't
wasting memory because the common segments of the program won't
get shared across the instances.
On the other hand if you're compressing only smaller programs, or
running only one instance of larger programs, then this penalty is
