> Also, if you have to send the image over the network, makes a big difference. We have an image we build on a 16 gig card, but we pishrink to just below 8 gig, and zipped it is 2.6 gig. Makes a difference when you need to ship to 100s of clients over the web

I had a 32 gig card and it shrunk down to about 2.5 gigs, which is probably the amount of actual data on the card. Then I zipped it. That took it down to less than 1 gig. I shrunk about everything I have for images (quite a few for backups). With shrinking them first and then zipping, each one was less than 1 gig.
