IMO file compression is an accident waiting to happen. I remember the horror stories of a few years ago when people would compress files on their HD, only to have it laugh at them when they tried to reload. This may not be the case now but to me, anything that plays with the file structure - and that includes archives such as zip, rar, etc - is to be approached with extreme caution. With mass storage as cheap as it is nowadays I really don't see the necessity. Plus, as you have noted, decompressing a file causes a slight lag.
