So long as RPM is not rebuilt on client's computer, xz is definitely a
favorable choice: less download, fast decompression.

What about to rebuild unzipped RPM on client's computer, and compare
its signature with pre-calculated one? It should be fast on server
side (pre-calculate signature for all drpm is too slow, as seth said.)
