OK, Mea culpa - the licence has changed, if you say so.

Of course, the problem is well known at Kaspersky's labs.
I have been a tester of AVP for a few months (in the time of beta sparc releases),
and I sent reports to one of the Russian developpers.

He said that AVP's UPX uncompression worked slowly under sparc processor
because UPX code is not available in assembler code for sparc.
Maybe it works better now (in >4.0), but I did not checked it.
(In 4.0 it was the same).
