In my quick and naive zip/7zip compression tests I did a number of months ago, the typical gain for a rockbox.zip was in fact more than 30%. Since we're talking about packages that are downloaded thousands of times *every day* we would also cut down on bandwidth for the server(s) hosting the downloads.
