Thanks for theese figures (and improvements)

How long does it take to uncompress with bunzip or p7zip? I suppose 
uncompressing with external program beforehand is still faster, or has 
this switched around now? (until now, for me uncompressing with p7zip 
the geofabrik extracts and then running mkgmap with no cache on small 
countries, with cache on larger countries was the fastest way to do..).
