RAR is nice, but I find that it's only slightly more efficent than zip. Using maximal compression on the 11Mb newworld.tga zip compresses it to 7.3 MB, rar to 6.8MB and bzip2 to 5.1MB
Admittedly, image files isn't really what the compression alogrithms are optimized for, but I've seen the same trend in general.
