I believe I read that the pool checksums are based on the uncompressed data -- so I would expect that anything common backed up across the internet first will be shared as bzip2, but anything common backed up locally with gzip first would be shared as gzip. I'm also assuming it is ok to be mixing the two compression methods in the pools!
