that's a LOT of packing :)
it sounds like your upload script is needlessly updating a lot of stuff.
You might consider making the script smarter.

e.g. in zope, make a Script (Python) that returns
bobobase_modification_time of the context in some format that 
your upload script can easily compare to the modification time of 
the file, and only upload each file if it's newer.
