Currently (up to 3.7.0a1) archives generated by the zipapp module are uncompressed, which are unnecessarily large for large projects. It's easy to add deflate compression support, and Python loads compressed archives just fine.

I already have a patch available. I'll submit a PR soon.

Definitely. The reason it uses uncompressed files is simply an oversight on my part - I hadn't realised the default for zipfile was uncompressed.
