How windows search can be faster ?

Last nite I was trying to configure my new system(Windows XP Home SP2) and than I noticed that this windows can read zip file even without winzip, that was fantastic as I didn't had winzip installer neither any connectivity, so I started unzipping a 44Meg zip file using its windows internal unzipper, and it says 29 mins...28 mins... and it was literally taking this long time, When it was showing 19 mins remaining than I lost my patience and installed WinRAR and noted time
2min installation
+
1 min in unzipping 44 Meg file

Saved 16 mins, I wish I could embed winRAR unzipping engine in OS so that my xp can be even faster when searching files inside compressed files
