One more thing pro any kind of compression: the ability to check for damages in the file. (Although the original question was not about this problem/solution...)
I really hate it when - thinking of computer-illiterate users who are hardly able to do more than click on buttons and icons - web pages show you for download naked EXE's, especially large ones. You download them, run them and will get mysterious error messages or seemingly unrelated problems if the file was damaged during download (or upload?!) and it doesn't explicitly check its own integrity. Pack it with an EXE compressor or archive it with ZIP, RAR etc. and you'll find out whether it's damaged or not.
