 If you're running executables from network, then compressed programs
 will load faster, and require less bandwidth during execution.
 
-DLLs are supported.
+DLLs are supported. But UPX compressed DLLs can not share common data and
+code when they got used by multiple applications. So compressing msvcrt.dll
+is a waste of memory, but compressing the dll plugins of a particular
+application may be a better idea.
 
 Screensavers are supported, with the restriction that the filename
 must end with ".scr" (as screensavers are handled slightly different
 than normal exe files).
 
+UPX compressed PE files has some minor memory overhead (usually in the
+10 - 30 kbytes range) which can be seen by specifying the "-i" command
+line switch during compression.
