I think I remember something being mentioned in the howto about
that too, but I'm certainly not one to follow ~all~ the advice in
howto's;-).
As for performance, my internal zip was off of / in RH, but
lm7.2 installed it in /mnt. I don't really mind, but you're
right, there seems to be no difference in boot time.
