Anyway, the file is so small that even adding it with -X9 results in it being stored without compression.
From what I saw in the advzip documentation, 1-4 will check the file and store as uncompressed, with original compression or re-compressed depending on which gives the smaller file size. I suspect the mimetype file is so small that it will not be compressed but you are rolling the dice. Asides, I am not a fan of zopfli -- it is so damned slow.
