• The compressor is faster; the decompressor is the same.
  
  It is not possible to make the decompressor significantly faster without completely changing the format, unfortunately. Basically, the compression format is designed for very good compression ratio and very small decompression code, at the expense of decompression speed. Other crunchers have other tradeoffs.

• And for those of you not reading ADA: There is a new version out (4.4) which is much, much faster (and a bit better at default settings) than 4.3. It should also use somewhat less memory.
  
  The new version also supports raw data crunching and comes with ready-to-use decompression source code.

• There is one mul instead of two, yes, and there are also a lot of other things going on in the PackFire depacker. But the only way to know for sure it to try it. :)
  
  I ran a comparison against PackFire to test the decrunch speed of a raw binary file on 68000.
  
  Original: 265660 bytes (Spitz by Focus Design).
  Shrinkler: 56056 bytes, 23 seconds.
  PackFire: 53944 bytes, 47 seconds.
  
  So yes, it appears Shrinkler decrunches about twice as fast as PackFire's "large" depacker. PackFire's "tiny" depacker is unquestionably much faster than Shrinkler (but this file is too big for it).

  i wonder if this could be adopted for other 68k platforms like atari?

  
  I have looked a bit into the possibility of Atari support, and run some comparisons to PackFire, which seems to be the state of the art in that space. Shrinkler beats it comfortably for small files, but PackFire has the edge for larger files, due to its LZMA-derived "large" depacker. This is definitely something I will look more into.
  
  Any other 68k platforms apart from Atari that could be relevant?

• Also, if you use the overlap option, the memory overhead will be very small, typically less than 1k, similarly to what you get with decrunching-while-loading packers.

  Important question: does it support a custom decrunching message?

  
  It does. You can give it either as an argument or in a text file.

  depacking while loading rulez on OCS :)

  
  Shrinkler does not decrunch while loading, but the loading time is typically quite short compared to the decrunch time anyway. For example, when running a 64k intro from floppy on 68000, it will likely load for 3-4 seconds, then print the decrunch text, and then decrunch for 20-25 seconds.

• One year ago today, I announced a brand new, open source version of my Amiga cruncher on ADA. Today it is ready for Pouet.
  
  About the platforms: The singular platform field available for Pouet prods falls short when it comes to cross-development demo tools that (can) have separate host and target platforms. Shrinkler reads and writes executables for all Amigas and runs on Windows, Linux, MacOSX Intel and high-end Amigas.
  
  It was developed primarily with cross-development in mind, and the current version is quite time and memory hungry. Hopefully this fits how people would like to use it. Let me know what you think.
  
  But most importantly: Enjoy, and make some kick-ass Amiga intros! :-D
