Changing compression programs was mentioned on the

Google searches for one thing can bring up something totally different...
https://github.com/powturbo/TurboBench
This compares over 50 different compression programs with "pretty" graphs
and tables as output. I think the test results on the web page uses part
of an enwiki dump file. See
http://mattmahoney.net/dc/text.html for
information on the file.
Note: The developer might be same person who did LZTurbo. A closed
source fork of GPL Tornado compression program. If wondering, Tornado
leaves BZ2 in the dust in terms of speed with same compression size, It is
available for Linux and Windows, but is not in any Linux repository I could
find.
There is also Squash Compression Benchmark

Forgot to mention... On Squash, it does have an "enwiki8" option, where you
can see tests that have been run on the same file mentioned above.
