Jpeg is already compressed, so compressing them again won't do anything but make it impossible for people to selectively download just the image/folder they desire.
Metadata on the other hand sounds like text files, which compress very well. Wether the space savings is worth it is hard to answer without more info. I'd personally lean towards not archiving it.
