I think it's better to stick with bzip2 archives. They need less
bandwidth and less room on disks. Using gzip again would be a step
backwards. Really.
My bandwidth and disks have grown significantly faster than my CPU
speeds. And for those of us who like to use SPARC but can't afford
new (fast) processors, gzip is a godsend.
Given the option, I'll take gzip over bzip2 without consideration.
Waiting a little extra time to receive the archive is far better than
waiting a lot of extra time to unpack it.
