Comment (by mrkkrp):

 I will try to find time and profile tomorrow to find out what is taking so
 long. This package is quite fast with 7.10.3, just as fast as `zip` and
 `unzip` utilities. I think it's because of zlib bindings and conduits
 used. Just a wild guess: conduit uses rewrite rules and fusion, maybe
 something of this behaves differently with the new version of compiler?
 This is just an idea, I'm not an expert in this area.
