I'm wondering - what is the point in gzipping anything in a j2me app, when you will be distributing the app. as a jar anyway.

My understanding is that both gzip, zip and zlib all use the deflate algorithm, so multiple compressions is going to do nothing but increase decompression time.
(and infact, *increase* size due to the extra algorithm code needed for decompression!)

The same goes for using png's in a jar - for the most part, a waste of runtime.

I'm sure uses could be found. For example, for data you receive from the network.
