It even uses more memory in fact...
Can't explain it very well, so I'm not going to attempt it (other than the crap explanations above) but it sure is a fact.
I said that because I looked it up on the site.
"UPX is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several different executable formats. It achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks because of in-place decompression."
