war-plugin 2.3 and assembly-plugin 2.4 both learned the "recompressZippedFiles" flag, which has a default value of "false".
When this value is "false", both plugins will sniff filers being added for the 4 byte ZIP header and avoid recompressing files that are already zipped. Selecting "false" as default doubles the performance of these (quite slow) plugins, at the risk of creating a somewhat larger archive file. This change of behaviour will be troublesome if you make uncompressed jar files by default and rely on war/assembly to zip them, in which case you may want to set recompressZippedFiles to true. It may also be a good idea to set recompressZippedFiles to "true" in a release profile.
