To Zip or Not to Zip?

Any insights on this issue would be very helpful, as I'm in the middle of importing my library. Are there any issues with using zipped/unzipped files, like processor usage? Sorry if I'm being vague, but I don't want to color any responses.

zipping and unzipping both use the CPU yes.

You're a sillygoose.

I guess I'm asking if kJams uses one or the other more efficiently/elegantly/awesomer!

And thanks for fixing my avatar!

it's awesomer to save disk space IMHO

What if disk space isn't an issue?

then you'll use less CPU if you don't zip

*this* is obviously awesomer for performance reasons

Kewl. I've been unzipping a lot of stuff lately, and wondering if I was wasting time.
