Bzip2 is horribly slow, both for compressing and decompressing. The extra compression gained is a small percentage. Fine for web or ftp sites, but (I guess) a bad choice for EGTB compression. 7-Zip has lots of algorithms implemented (including bzip2.) The license is a bit unclear to me. This looks very interesting (although license is only GPL or commercial): http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/ What is wanted in a case like EGTB is very fast decompression and very good compression.
