They are archives that contain files (both compressed and uncompressed), it's not a "compressed" archive.

If you can already extract and reimport the files, what else you want to do with the archives?

Now I understand.
Basically the rebuilder doesn't compress the files but simply stores them uncompressed, that's the reason of the bigger archive.

Just recently Milestone implemented the zlib algorithm instead of their lzw so it's possible that the rebuilder prefers to not compress the files instead of using zlib making the new archive incompatible with older games... just an hypothesis.

Anyway you should contact who created the rebuilder asking him to add the zlib compression.
