Very aggressive compression, and GIMP's install size is almost twice as large 
as that of LibreOffice. Probably the biggest reason for slow install is because 
both 32 and 64-bit versions are in the same installer, and when doing a 64-bit 
install, a lot of 32-bit version is also installed; I've been meaning to look 
into optimizing this, but haven't gotten around to do it yet.
