It was the performance concern back then that led us to keep using the 
input stream
for extracting, if it's to extract the whole zip/jar.

There is also some "regressions" reported later with the ZipFile path 
when dealing with
some "wrong"/non-ZIP64-spec-compliant huge zip file, in which it's fine 
to access those
entries from the beginning of the stream, but can't jump back to the 
individual entries
from the cen table.

It appears you will have to flip a coin to see which case is more 
"important"?
