Man, I am absolutely miffed! I am seething and malding and coping as the kids say!

For some odd reason, both SharpCompress and ZipLibSharp don't seem to work when BZIP2-ing large dmods! Or rather they work, but they are insanely slow! What the heck?

For reference, bzip2-ing a Periculo tar (about 627 MB) with 7zip in windows, using block size 1, takes about 10 seconds. The two libraries I mentioned seem to take minutes in C#! Heck, bzip2-ing a Pilgrim's Quest tar, which is far smaller, with ZipLibSharp took over 40 seconds at block size 1!

Guess I need to find some more efficient bzip2 library out there or maybe implement my own and see how that goes?...

Edit: It seems I jumped the gun and the reasoning behind this is quite simple. 7zip uses multithreading for bzip2 compression so it is much faster...
