With four cores, plzip would beat gzip in the first case. With only 2 cores, plzip would beat gzip in the second case. What's left to do to implement plzip support? That's the good news: almost nothing! - On the Lzip binding side, we need to add support for multi pages. It's a bit of work but not that much. - On the Guix side, there is nothing to do.
