Have ya ever tried unpacking a Renpy game with 50k files on a HDD?

Thats what rpas are for.
I compress games on an old SATA2 HDD (the read/write speed is about three times slower than modern SATA3) (this is my rewritable disc), so every time I compress, that's exactly what I'm dealing with. Besides, with RPGM games that have that many images, for some reason, there haven't been similar issues when unpacking them on the HDD.
