Would accessing deps directly from a zip really be faster? I'd be a little surprised but not terribly, given that it's readonly on an fs designed for RW. If not, maybe just tar?

You just cat the exe with the zip file, then it is all loaded into memory at the same time on process init. This is how e.g. LÖVE does game code packaging. (It can't be tar, because this trick only works because the PKZIP descriptor is at the end of the file.)
