We have discovered that using 7zip to expand the MSI zip payload is significantly faster that tne C# library we currently use. chef/fastmsi-custom-action#6 alters the behavior of the CustomActionFastMsi.CA.dll to shell out to 7zip.
Testing with the chef MSI, it brought the install time from 2 minutes and 28 seconds down to 38 seconds.
