Some time ago, I've made some tests on a customer site.
They have plenty data that could be compressed ( a 75% ratio )

With GZIP ( which is equal to gzip default level 6 ) we loose hours of 
compression to obtain finally only a 78% ratio
compared to the gzip2 I actually use.

Waht would be cool is to have multi-threaded bacula-fd using lzma compression 
:-))
