Zipping files

I need to compress large-ish files, around 50-100 megs each. I wonder if 
anyone knows whether zip or gz format is easier on RAM. Is it correct 
that both methods require about double the amount of RAM as the file 
size? Is one preferable over the other under low memory conditions? Are 
there any other considerations when choosing between the two?
