You may also like to Google around for compression comparisons. This 
site:
https://binfalse.de/2011/04/04/comparison-of-compression/
for example, does some interesting scatter plots for speed vs 
compression for different file types (it doesn't cover the different 
compression levels within bzip, though).

Kind regards,
