If you have a fast connection, xz decompression may be the bottleneck, but in some places, downloading that 1.8GB can easily take an hour or more. So I’m not sure whether this is the bottleneck in the usual case.
I would also be interested to see if it’s using parallel decompresssion when possible. I have an intuition it doesn’t, since I have always found Arch defaulting to single thread decompression, e.g in makepkg or for compressing with mkinitcpio.
