Why the images are not compressed?
Because RPMs are compressed already, and almost everything on a CentOS install disk is an RPM.
I tried compressing the bin DVD here with bzip2 -9 and saw a size improvement of less than 3%. The cost of this tiny benefit is 2x the disk space during the decompression step, and half an hour of decompression time on a 3 GHz machine.
