May 28, 2014 at 13:46 comment added Russell Borogove Relatively, yes. I don't know what heuristics typical .zip compressors use to choose a block's encoding, but it might be as straightforward as trying all the encodings and keeping the best result. During development, if you must have your data in a .zip, you'll probably want to force everything to use store instead of deflate to save time, then deflate everything for release builds.
