That's obviously because of zeroes are too easy to compress, and compressing isn't a bottleneck. Remember that dd calculates speed of writing data to file, not an actual speed of writing (un)compressed data to flash.
For 'real' usage that definitely won't reproduce.
But I'm lacking of fast source of pseudorandom data to test it, /dev/urandom is VERY slow on N900 (~1.6MBps on my N900 OC to 900MHz).
