Regarding pbzip2, by the way, I gave it a shot last night. Definately faster for the type of archive I was compressing (mp3s in a tar archive). If I remember rightly it was approx 1min30s vs 0min50s. Not quite twice as fast, but a definate improvement. I plan to do a bit of further testing/playing if anyone is interested in the results.
