We (Hamburg RE) also did some test measurements and the increase in required
build time seems to be acceptable. From my point of view we could accept the
proposed change.

Andr, how do you think about this? My measurements show the following changes
for a german OpenOffice installation set:

The size of the installation set decreased from 91,4 MB to 80,5 MB, the time for
the creation of the cab files increased from  3:06 min to 9:00 min.

Perhaps it could be a solution to set the packing mechanism with a new variable,
that is set to LZX compression for update release builds and for OpenOffice.org.
For normal builds and cws builds we could use the faster mszip compression.

Adding mh to cc:

I suggest using LZX when making CAB files and setting SetCompress off in NSIS
settings.

I would prefer to set the compression type in the ddf file. In msiglobal.pm
there is a procedure called write_ddf_file_header.
In this the line

$oneline = .Set CompressionType=MSZIP\n;

simply has to be replaced by 

$oneline = .Set CompressionType=LZX\n;

I tested this and had the following results for a german OpenOffice installation
set:

The size of the installation set decreased from 91,4 MB to 80,5 MB, the time for
the creation of the cab files increased from  3:06 min to 9:00 min.

is: I think that build-time slowness is perfectly acceptable - we will save
approx. 10 MB for downloads, which means approx. 21 minutes for people connected
via ISDN. So I think we should go with it!

I checked in the documentation and downloaded Cabinet Software Development Kit
from:
http://www.microsoft.com/workshop/prog/cab

I think we may add /d CompressionType=LZX option to makecab.exe comman line.

From doc:

MAKECAB.EXE
MAKECAB.EXE is designed to produce the final distribution files and cabinets for
an entire product in a single run. The most common way to use MAKECAB.EXE is to
supply a directives file that controls how files are compressed and stored into
one or more cabinets.  
MAKECAB.EXE Syntax
There two primary forms of MAKECAB.EXE usage.  The first is used for compressing
a single file, while the second is used for compressing multiple files.

MAKECAB [/Vn] [/D variable=value ...] [/L directory] source [destination]
MAKECAB [/Vn] [/D variable=value ] /F directives_file [...]


---

CompressionType=MSZIP 
Select compression engine.
Default:.Set CompressionType=MSZIP  ; Default is MSZIP compressor

MSZIP is the default compression type supported by Microsoft.  This version of
MakeCAB.EXE also supports the LZX compression method, which can achieve higher
compressions ratios.

Using MSZIP compression and FolderSizeThreshold=1 will generate a cabinet file
approximately the same size as a PKZIP-compatible compression engine.  LZX
compression requires more time, but LZX decompression is typically faster.

Examples:
.Set CompressionType=LZX ; LZX compressor

I really don't know it is the sollution. But you (or) may test...
