Installer files probably won't compress very well either.

@TomWij files in dllcache doesn't affect performance. Tt is just a cache of some DLLs, and IF IN CASE some system file got changed, Windows File Protection (WFP) will try to find the original DLL/EXE, if it isn't there, WFP will prompt you to put in windows CD. Read here: microsoft.com/whdc/archive/wfp.mspx#E6 @Nighthawk I had been using a EeePC with 4GB primary partition, and I tried to recover every bit of space. Try to compress your installer folder before saying probably it won't compress very well.

It does affect performance, caching is made for a reason. I rather have a file cached than having WFP look it up or having to insert the Windows CD myself, which takes a lot more time than having a cached file in place.
