The MOBIs I created are dual MOBIs but without the source (-dont_append_source flag used) so that makes it difficult to compare them since dual MOBI contains both the AZW3 and the old MOBI7.

I ran some kindlegen tests last night. If you don't use any -c flags, it uses PalmDOC (c1) compression by default.
The PalmDOC compressed files took (c1) 12 seconds, uncompressed (c0) 8 seconds and huffdic (c2) 8 minutes.
Attached are excerpts from the log files. Original was a 2.5MB epub file, with 5.1MB in HTML files (~860,000 word count) and 824KB in JPEG.
