For everyone concerned with timing, I tested compressing a 4gb image
of a quad boot USB key with a variety of junk on it at compression
level "4".

# time -h bzip2 -k key.img

Those are impressive numbers. I will keep an eye on it. If 7z is
consistently better then bz2 I expect it will become widely adopted.
