I did some quick tests a while ago comparing using pack200 vs
uncompressed jars for webstart downloads.
On a busy LAN, I got about 7 MB/s for uncompressed download vs 800
KB/s for compressed download + unpacking.
Tests done on a 40 Mb set of jars, with a compression ratio of 50%.
YMMV but there is clearly a very big overhead for unpacking.
