I'm wondering if it would be possibly to somehow use something like (pbzip2)[https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/pbzip2/] instead of just regular bzip2 when compressing files. I'm not sure if this would work with how GnuPG is designed, but it would be nice if compression could be multi-threaded since using one thread is the bottleneck in my system when using GPG with large files (backups so 100s GBs).
I have tested that encryption can be sped up by disabling compression but that would increase storage usage. (or using another algorithm, but ZLIB and ZIP are both CPU bottlenecked). Thanks, Karmanyaah Malhotra -- Contact me at https://karmanyaah.malhotra.cc/contact/
