I'm not sure what you mean by "better compression", but as I said, bzip
produces smaller output:

	839680 calgary-corpus-bzip.tar
	849920 calgary-corpus-bzip2.tar
	542720 canterbury-corpus-bzip.tar
	552960 canterbury-corpus-bzip2.tar
	2570240 large-canterbury-corpus-bzip.tar
	2590720 large-canterbury-corpus-bzip2.tar
	3000320 protein-corpus-bzip.tar
	3010560 protein-corpus-bzip2.tar

I agree that bzip2 is better though. :)
