I'd argue bzip compression was a mistake for Conda. There was a time when I had Conda packages made for the CUDA libraries so conda could locally install the right version of CUDA for every project, but boy it took forever for Conda to unpack 100MB+ packages.

It seems they are using zstd now for .conda packages, eg, bzip is obsoleted, so that should be faster.
