Really? How?
My bzip2 has no option for it and when tested it stuck to one CPU.
xz on the other hand has
-T, --threads=NUM use at most NUM threads; the default is 1; set to 0
to use the number of processor cores
- xixi77 11y agolbzip2 is pretty good
- mappu 11y agoSide note: `xz` only got -T option in stable releases less than 12 months ago (5.2.0 in 2014-12-21), so it hasn't made it into every distro yet.
- TheWoodsy 11y agoI believe you're looking for pbzip2. Parallel bzip2 file compressor. I've replaced it as my go-to compression.
- zbuf 11y agoThe xz installed on my system carries a rather promising -T option, but then this text below it > Multithreaded compression and decompression are not implemented > yet, so this option has no effect for now.
