I've had a quick look - UPX appears to be a file compressor.
All that will do is make the executables smaller on disk. The
executables will still take up the same memory (perhaps even a little
more depending exactly how it works) once loaded.
And besides I can still use such a file compressor if my executable
only had the parts of the library I needed linked in, and I'd get a
much smaller file. File compression is orthogonal to the issue I've
raised.
Cheers,
