In Gentoo- a stage is a collection of programs that have been pre-compiled. The higher the stage, the more pre-compiled programs you get. The larger the file size of the stage tar ball.

A .tar.bz2 file is usually a group of files that have been archived using the tar utlily. Then, it is run through the bz2 compression algorithm.
Just to add to that, the point of having fewer pre-compiled files is the size, but more importantly, you get to compile them optimized specifically for your machine.

Yeah, and be careful with the flags. The install I did used as many optimizations as I could figure out, but I ended up with errors.
