One reason is that compression methods like (bzip, lzma) have a drastic impact on performance especially because the compression happens on the FD side and a lot of times these machines are not the fastest machines. I have seen a few discussions of this on the mailing lists but I am unsure of the conclusion as I only use software compression for a very small percentage of my backups being that > 90 % of my backups are tape based and that the tape drives have built in compression that compress data at high rates. In the LTO2 case the drive compresses data at 20MB/s or better. With software it is unlikely that you will get more than 1/10 that speed with current processors.
