These tests were performed on a 386DX-33Mhz machine with 4 megs RAM and a
32k hardware CACHE.  The files were compressed from an 80 meg HD onto a
2 meg RAM DRIVE.

* Harald, it looks like HAP is excellent at compressing TEXT files but is
  too slow and doesn't compress enough for many other applications.  I'm
  looking forward to a faster and better compressing version whenever you
  release it.
