I see only relatively small compression gains so the content must be
partially compressed already, or does not compress well.

Hi
They actually are already compressed. Just not wrapped into a compressed
archive. Both the USB and ISO files are just a container for the
compressed files. for e.g. solaris.zlib or the Boot Archive. These
Compressed files will be decompressed on load by the Boot loader or OS
respectively.

The USB files should be compressed for downloads to save gigabytes of
bandwidth. On an individual basis it amounts to hundreds of megabytes and
time saved for each person downloading. I am not interested in arguments
about which compression alg. to use because currently there is NO
COMPRESSION.
