Fully knowing that it's not very tasteful to advocate one's own software in a comment on somebody else's blog, I'll still recommend lbzip2 which tries hard to decompress "traditional" bz2 files, read from non-seekable input (pipe, SOCK_STREAM etc), with an IO-bound splitter. See my homepage or http://freshmeat.net/projects/lbzip2/ if you like.
