zip compression is not worthless, but with the old .tar.gz compression you had to uncompress the whole file before you could read one of its contents. zip allow one contained file to be extracted by itself

Yes... the compression rate suffers though, especially with many smaller files (because the compression dictionaries must be re-created for each file, the compressor does not 'learn' from the preceding files).
