Its not as much about compression as its about AI. Check out its rationale, it touches the speed issue. http://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/rationale.html I share your concern about some compression benchmarks ignoring time, but Hutter Prize is an exception where this is OK.

Also each new record require longer time. Shouldn't that be more logical to consider size multiplied by compression time as a criteria.
