I hardly use zip, only rar. And compressing images into rar, zip or 7zip doesn't make much difference, only a couple KB. Any good compression program allows you to pick your method, from 'just put them together' to 'ultra'.
But in gif and png format you're trying to compare a format which allows 256 colors to one with true color AND alpha. THIS is a difference in this case, or at least one huge technological gasp. Downloading something 10-100kb bigger isn't going to burn your hard drive to cinders, right?
