After days of researching why the current installer that I am porting from
InstallShield (it's a pure MSI not InstallScript) to WiX installs so much
slower I think I have found an answer. It looks like WiX sequences files in
the file table by their file id. In comparison it appears that
From what I can tell CopyElement only copies files if they are already in the
source CAB (or already installed from it). I don't think that gives me what I
require.

loose files would work but then every installation

Were you using Components containing single files as generated by

I'm also interested in this; my (largest) Installer installs around 13000

fragmentation of the target station).
