I also speeded up all user software at one installation.  The method is
quite simple, and I recommend it to any installation whose CPU and disk
resources are nearing exhaustion:

	From every user program remove every fourth bit, and
	compact the result.

The speedup (as measured in CPU seconds used by these programs, and the
time from initiation to completion of each run) was in many cases far greater
than 300%.
