Hi José, Chamilo 1.8.7.1 is using PCLZip (a PHP library) to create the ZIP file. It is not an ideal library (anymore) as it uses PHP to execute a process that is heavy per se.
We had the problem in the past with the SCORM packages import and found that executing zip on the command line (through exec) was a quick but acceptable fix. This effectively boosts the zipping, but passes the hand to something else than your webserver and might be more difficult to control (from your webserver's statistical tools). You may find inspiration for that code somewhere around main/newscorm/scorm.class.php. In any case, processing a lot of files at one time is a heavy process for a web application, so I'm not surprised. You can also disable the possibility to download a zip if that's not desired.
