Use better compression algorithms to pack software!

I have noticed that as compared to other OS (Win + Mac) softwares for Ubuntu always have large size. Eg. Firefox 3 for Win-7.2 Mb; for Ubuntu- 9.5 Mb
Opera for Win- 5to6 Mb; for Ubuntu- 7.5 Mb
Plz use better compression algorithms so that Linux users don't have to download more than there Windows brethen

Make ubuntu more responsive

Written by marco.ferragina the 28 Feb 08 at 16:56. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New

I've 2 distros installed on my laptop: Ubuntu Gutsy and Arch Linux! The feel with arch is that it's whippy. From the other side ubuntu is sluggish. Sure I know that my system is not so up to date (a 1.5 Ghz centrino 512 M Ram) but Arch work very well on it with the same services loaded as in ubuntu.

So I think Ubuntu can do something to improve performance.
