I don't think so. The swapfile alone is huge. That sounds about where mine
started, as well. The steps above cut it about in half, then WinZip took another
~50% cut.

And if get yourself a copy of WinRAR you can make it even smaller. :-)

I'd definitely be interested in that. I found CABARC would shrink the VHDs by about
10% more than WinZip (maximum/portable), but that it blew chunks on files >2Gb.
Does WinRAR handle XXL files?
