Hi, ...and switch to tar.xz as well :-)? Some words to my statistics... I did not use -9 (optimal compression) for both repacked tarballs. xz uses "-6" as default for compression-level according to its man-page. Unfortunately, bzip2 man-page reveals not much. FYI: The xz man-page has a nice section about compression-level in combination with memory and cpu usage. Thorsten Glaser (a friend of mine) has reflected critically about the usage of xz (especially using high values for compression) and also compared with bzip2/gzip in his blog [1]. Worth reading! Yes, bzip2 is no more modern - don't use it anymore. Save disc-space - save the planet :-)!
