Is the unzip process slow only for PE, or do other archives with a lot of files also suffer?
@Stuart's tip is good. I never thought of that.
Also try turning off active scanning when you unzip, because your antivirus/antimalware may be inspecting each file as it is pulled from the archive. A/V suites like Symantec & McAfee can make unzipping archives excruciatingly slow.
