Why don't pack the executable?

I have packed the exe to 1,1 MB. It loads more faster than the standart 3MB file.

Packing excutables activates heurstics in Antivirus Clients. it is NOT a smart idea.

Also seems useless to pack/crypt the exe since the application is open source. :huh:

why? Crypt - ok, but pack?

packing the exe would make all the crash related stuff (exceptioninfo etc.) worthless, plus packing an exe can cause odd bugs sometimes.
