You can skip the unzip/untar step since RAT can work on compressed archives (see the Ant task for examples) but it will probably run faster if you unpack the archive first.
I'm sure it will be faster than what I'm currently doing, which is to go to the web page and manually download, check sums, check signatures, unzip/untar the artifact and run RAT. How slow can RAT be compared to that?
