Ross answered he question for me...:-)

FYI, I use this for every app. I sell or use internally, and have never
struck an issue.
No Performance issues or anything.

It stays permanently small and executes that way.  It basically uncompresses
itself as it loads into RAM.

Does the executable run in it's compressed form? or do you still have to 
extract it at the far end?
