I've tested that this does not happen with zip, iso, rar files.
file-roller runs:
yelo3 16709 11.2 0.1 2136 736 ? S 18:34 0:05 unzip
-d /home/yelo3/Scaricati/iso -o -P /home/yelo3/Scaricati/iso.zip

but you can easily check this trying to un-gzip(bzip2) a big file (a
file that gunzips(bunzips2) in more than a few seconds)
while extracting it you can do a ps -ux and you will see:

yelo3 16982 11.5 0.0 2040 496 ? R 18:37 0:04 gzip
-f -d -n /home/yelo3/.fr-65rcKi/file.gz

or

yelo3 19326 18.1 0.7 5284 4024 ? D 18:49 0:02 bzip2
-f -d /home/yelo3/.fr-80UAsI/file.bz2
