That's true, but there's no reason for MCServer to save a single chunk to a pak file, and it doesn't.
MCServer loads pak files into memory and leaves it there, compressed, so once a pak file is loaded, there's no disk interaction anymore (except when forced to save, no chunks are 'used' in the pak file, or another pak file must be loaded). When a chunk is 'unloaded' it is re-compressed and remains in memory until it is decided that the region/layer/pak file need to be saved.
