You may use option -0, which compresses about as fast as gzip:http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip_benchmark.html#gzip But for compression of large files on multiprocessor machines, plzip can be much faster than lzip at the cost of a slightly reduced compression ratio. Using option '-0' with 64 compression threads, plzip may be even faster (515 MB/s) than pigz: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/plzip_benchmark.html
Thanks for these advices. Browsing your website I encountered the tarlz software. Any particular reason you didn’t recommended it?
So you may try a command like tar -c foo | plzip -0vvo foo.tar.lz or with a recent version of GNU tar you can use tar -cf foo.tar.lz -I 'plzip -0' foo
Would you happen to know precisely what “recent version” here means? As we try to support all kind of setups, we might not use this option, or do a version check before using it.
Thanks again Hoël Bézier
