In my experience, 7z provides tighter compression and similar speed
so I've stopped looking at bz2. But here you go:
81592 trunk-nocompress-individual-patches
48980 tru

Yes, it does. It didn't occur to me to use it for these
measurements,

Better to use zip format than tar, as zip has an index (that's why
it's
In short, it probably isn't worth it, unless the new repository
formats (which I haven't looked at) tend to bundle more patches
together into one file for the compression tool to find redundancy in:
Current:
37188 trunk-get/_darcs
Each patch un-gzipped and 7zipped:
32684 trunk-7z/_darcs
