I was going to stay out of this discussion :-) 

When I read the above, my knee-jerk reaction is: Where is the data to backup 
this statement?

Follow up questions are:

How much slower? We talking milliseconds, seconds, minutes? Yes, there are 
variables, here, but narrow them to a set number and compare zip vs 
directory?

Previous post talked about memory consumption, again bytes, kilobytes, 
megabytes?
