Want to make your Silverlight XAP packages smaller? It couldn’t be easier!
Extract the XAP file (rename to .ZIP and use any extractor). Then… re-compress it using a good ZIP tool, like WinRAR.
Third party zippers are far more efficient than the one built in to Visual Studio.
In my trial, I got a 280k file down to 220k!
