Not really. For testing, I installed UPX on my old 486 (clocked with
50Mhz or so, 16MB RAM and enough load without UPX), there it takes 4-7
seconds to decompress ddd. And ~0.1-0.2s for exmidi. Anyways, I would
not run monsters like ddd on this machines at all.

People don't run very big apps on very week machines, so the extra load
caused by upx stuff is "justifiable", IMHO.
