Yes, if you have administrator privileges and strategic planning,
and if you can tolerate a read-only fs (or your fs can handle overwrites),
then compression of the filesystem itself often saves more space.
(Sometimes UPX still wins because of the 128KiB window in squashfs;
the UPX window is often larger, and sometimes infinite.)

But if you are just a lowly user, or cannot plan far enough ahead,
then UPX is a good choice for saving space, and sometimes gives
smaller delay at execve().
