To anyone who cares

I have run through most of the extra crap and printed 107 pages of raw 
compression results. The short version (averages) is:

			Bzip2	Compress	Gzip
Uncompressed		  (same for all) about 5M

Compressed		  0.95 M  1.84 M	1.17

Time(sec)		  8.26	  1.27		7.54

Ratio(uncom. to com.(:1)) 5.24	  2.69		4.26

Percent(of compressed
	after compress)	  21.37	  39		25

Megs's processed/s	  0.52	  2.4		2.9


When you multiply it out with the results that I would send to anyone at 
request, the numbers are a bit off. Scientifically speaking, that is. The 
only one I remember was that the average on compress was 2.72 instead of 
2.69. Whooo. Big deal. I'll just write it into the "Error Margin" part.

Okay, time to go. Till next time, Peace!
