Typically I would suggest only archiving very large files. In my experience (maybe not applicable to everyone) when the game un-archives the files, it will use 100% cpu usage. IMO this is detrimental for clients and can cause their system to hang if you have a lot of small files that are compressed. It can be easier and quicker for the clients if the small downloaded files are not compressed.
