I may be mistaken here but, MS VSS uses a strong
compression algorithm on the VSS database that is not
to dissimilar to that use to compress MS word
documents. The disadvantage of this is that it does
slow down access. On a LAN you probably will not
notice it. Over the Internet or WAN it becomes a
problem.
