I believe the RPM's are already just compressed cpio files with a
header.  They also unpack all of the files to get an accurate space
estimate while building the ISO's, so my guess is compressed.

Plus I'm also never sure what 'nettiqute says I should do there.
Some people don't like that, because it uses up a lot of CPU power.
However, over CVS that appears to be the norm.
