I remember when it happened, the change over occurred virtually
overnight.  Every single new upload, it seemed, was SHK; after only a
month or two, $DD files were essentially all replaced by new ShrinkIt
files.  Andy Nicholas really nailed it with a II+ version, a full
featured ProDOS version, and what took the cake was the option to
generate self-extracting archives on the GS.  Well, the free
distribution kinda helped too on top of he speed and compression
benefits that you mentioned.
