There is a zlib and non-zlib version available for download. Can someone tell me the benefits or drawbacks of the each?

Why would I need zlib compression? I have plenty of disk space and I assume that would slow web server down having to deal with compression. Am I understanding this correctly?

Thanks

zlib compression makes the installer a lot smaller, and that seems to help for system where PHP has memory_limit. The non-zlib version is larger and mostly intended for people who don't have zlib support in their PHP.

Do you mean it is only used for the one time install?

Ok, so once the site is up whether it was installed with zlib or non zlib installer is irrelevant to performance. thx
