The installer works by having the archive appeneded to the end of the file and during install process decompresses the archive and extracts the files. If a raw tar file was there it would get parsed by the PHP's engine when parsing the install script and cause problems. For that perpouse the file is compressed, which also makes it about 1/3 smaller and easier to transfer.
Previously the file was using base64_encoding, which while did the task make the file >3 megs in size, which causes all kinds of problems for people with memory limit.
