Speaking for myself, I rarely generate more than about three replies
at any one sitting. That's _not_ a lot of characters. I'm willing
to sit around and suffer the extra CPU load and the extra time while
my small replies packet is being zipped and then unzipped.

If you are determined to avoid compressing the replies packet, you
might put a zero as the first option on compress= in your CONFIG
compress=zip -0kjm %f %d/*
(I have *not* tried this myself.) Zero indicates: "no compression".
