The bzip2 offers about 30-50% better compression ratios (on color graphics) compared to gzip. But the public source implementation yields very uneven compression times, going from half the speed of gzip/zlib (at best) to 20 (and up) times slower for the "wrong" data. To make it work in real time one needs to pre-filter the data fed the bzip library so that its input has as few repeated character runs as possible. With such pre-filtering it works quite well.
