When you compress a file, multiple files or folder into a zip archive using the Finder's "compress" feature, that doesn't delete the original item(s). You end up with both a zip archive and the original in the same folder.
If both the zip archive and the original file/folder are in the Dropbox folder then both will be uploaded to Dropbox's servers and synchronized with your other computers.
If you want to speed up the upload of files to Dropbox's servers then you should compress your file(s) in a separate folder and then drop only the resulting zip file into the Dropbox folder.
