Zip optimization was added in 6u4 as a means to improve the javac compilation.
This optimization is essentially reading the zip file and caching the Zip entries.
Since this uses the Zip format extensively it needs continuous maintenance, and
experiments show that there the cost of maintenance outweighs the performance
gains in jdk7.
