Description Alexandre martins 2018-12-20 15:13:07 UTC 
Greetings,

Currently, the libarchive is compiled without the flag HAVE_LZMA_STREAM_ENCODER_MT. It may be nice to add this flag to allow compression on multiple CPU.

On my machine (4 CPU), if I compress 4GB of 0 in the standard way:

$ time tar --options threads=0 -cJf test.txz zero

real    1m18,200s
user    1m16,910s
sys     0m0,941s

When libarchive is compiled with the flag:

$ time tar --options threads=0 -cJf test.txz zero

real    0m21,810s
user    1m17,612s
sys     0m1,478s

The patch:

Dup of bug 233543?

See also r340997 and r341453.

For now, you can instead use:

  time tar --options -cf - zero | xz -T0 > test.txz
