What is highly unlikely about that? That seems more plausible than, zlib is magically 1000x slower when used by Archive Utility.

- flashman 10y agoWhat seems more likely to me is that the "decompressing a large number of small archives" task is so rare that Apple hasn't optimised it. More likely than "Apple added an arbitrary delay to make the interface more satisfying."
