Ah! That explains it. I knew that it handles a lot of data, but it didn't 
somehow seem reasonable the time it used. Couldn't it use some other 
faster compress method? Less compression, perhaps? I didn't see an option 
in the man page for that.

Failing that, I could try recompiling the bzip binary optimizing for 
pentium 4 instead of the default :-?
