Delay in playing Zip Files

I use an XP & Vista 2 different machines. XP has Hoster 3.2

The Vista machine is newer and I am trying out the newest Hoster 4.11. I have a few thousand zip on the laptop and most of the rest on an external drive. I do get a delay (20 seconds) between clicking play and when the song comes up with the zip & KMA files. Is it because the files are still .zip? If so should I get the Song Converter to change them to kma? so that when I click play that load quicker? Everything in the "Remove Silence" is at 0 (zero).
Vista - 4GB Ram, 64 bit, hd 200GB with 140GB free
Any clue how to NOT have that delay?

There must be something else going on in your computers. Your Vista looks to be a lot more powerful than mine and yet on all of my machines - XP and Vista - I get maybe at most a one second delay playing zips from the k-oke button, and zero delay from those in the database as Hoster automaticly converted them to HDMP3G.
