Get more space with HSF+ compression

26 Feb
2010

Sneaky… apple added HSF+ compression to SL and compressed most of their executables with it. Read the link for details, it a very clever, backward compatible HACK.

Anyway, we can use that now (conveniently) with Squeeze! And as a matter of fact, it’s currently free for MacHeist-Users.

Best thing? It makes my mac even faster. CPU is no problem – but SSD space is ;)

Definitely interesting, but this only seems valuable if you value your disk space more than running processes.
