One thing that's missing from the article when comparing to `pigz` is that you can use the `-T0` flag in `zstd` and it will parallelize according to the number of CPUs. On some limited benchmarks, I found it to be much faster and worth using. Some `zstd` installations come with `zstdmt`[0] as an alias to `zstd -T0`.
