Actually it's probably not that bad. I leave an ftp server running on my PC overnight to transfer AWS files. Times vary from 20 to 120 minutes, depending on what else is going on. IMON says that TCPIP, a USS application running at high priority, gobbles CPU when in use, but my batch FTP job runs at the lowest priority so the use is not too bad. Somewhere I am sure I have a GZIP that runs on MVS, but that may be from a previous incarnation when I had a C compiler. I suggest you test different suggestions.
