Hi Roman,

thanks for your reply.

I'll bump up the zipcache and maybe lower the zip compression level from 9 to see if that speeds things up. For some reason, I didn't make the connection between the slower speed/maximal compression tradeoff in the zip settings.

I guess I'm kinda impatient to wait for compression.
Whenever I "rar" things up I almost always set it to
store because I hate to wait (especially when it's a
large dataset like 4GB)
