Yep, that worked out pretty well.  I got a good drop in FPS in some
parts of the game but I assume that's due to model complexity since it
seemed to really be noticeable only on the Earth ships.

VPs by themselves are not compressed and gzip gets it to about the same
size as the exes.  If someone will provide the space (compressed total
of about 135Megs for the low-res version) I'll upload them somewhere or
you can make your own by getting VP Constructor from
http://www.3dap.com/hlp/freespace/mods/tools/ but you will need a
Windows box or VMWare to get everything made up right since it didn't
work too well in wine for me.

I have to admit that I've got an ear to ear smile on my face after being
blown up by a Minbari cruiser.  It'll probably stay there all day ;-)
