compress/bzip2: fix benchmark to actually measure decompression rate

Motivation:
* Previously, the size of the compressed data was used for metrics,
rather than the uncompressed size. This causes the library to appear
to perform poorly relative to C or other implementation. Switch it
to use the uncompressed size so that it matches how decompression
benchmarks are usually done (like in compress/flate). This also makes
it easier to compare bzip2 rates to other algorithms since they measure
performance in this way.
* Also, reset the timer after doing initialization work.
