Were you trying to extract the archive or do a listing of it? I have
found that if a zoo archive is in a directory with lots of files, and
you do v on it (zoo v file.zoo), it can take quite a long to time before
it lists the contents. If I move the archive into its own directory,
the problem goes away. I think zoo is doing a scan of the directory for
each file in the archive. Doing an extract works fine.
