Most people with Win2K/XP will be using NTFS. The compression of a 650MB ISO takes roughly 1-2 minutes (understandable, since it takes zip about that long - can't expect it to be instant now, can we?), and once compressed, that's it, never needs to be uncompressed again. There is also no speed hit associated with it.
