[pypy-issue] [issue733] bz2 decompression is very slow

I also did that pip install and it only took about 4x longer for me on pypy. This 
matches up with my experiments of just untarring (and bunzipping) the file (using 
the same code that pip does it with, namely employing the tarfile module) taking 
3x-6x longer in pypy as compared to python.
