im doin my project and the file size at the end is gonna be fairly big. the thing is, im tryin to figure out should i compress it to make smaller file size or leave it so i can access it quicker? and if i compress it, should i use winrar or winzip? coz i know winrar has smaller file size but its slower than winzip. either…

I'd prob go with winzip cause its so widespread, saves the hassel of haveing to install winrar each time. Do ya mind me asking why its so big, pictures?
