Comment(by hellais):

 So I tinkered a little bit with different compression algorithms and
 different hdiutil commands and in ended up with these conclusions.

 The Tor Browser Bundle compressed to .dmg with the following command:

       hdiutil convert TorBrowserBundle.dmg -format UDZO -imagekey zlib-
 level=9 -o TorBrowserBundle-compressed.dmg

 has a total file size of 3.2364 KB.

 This is compressed using zlib level of 9, so optimized memory consumption
 minimized speed.

 If I compress the original bundle using bzip2 I actually end up with a
 smaller file than the current .zip: 2.9976 KB.
