Useful with Docker, see https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/35697 https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/35697 I’ve integrated pigz into different build and CI pipelines a few times. Don’t expect wonders since some steps still need to run serially, but a few seconds here and there might still add up to a few minutes on a large build.

I built a custom dpkg with parallel xz for speeding up the compression of large omni style deb packages. Totally worth it.

  Turns out it was longer ago than I thought— way back in the Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 days: https://launchpad.net/~mikepurvis/+archive/ubuntu/dpkg https://launchpad.net/~mikepurvis/+archive/ubuntu/dpkg

Am I reading correctly that Docker just automatically uses pigz if it’s in the system path? I’ve used both for years and had no idea. I’m definitely going to make sure it’s installed in CI pipelines going forward, I know of some bloated image builds it will definitely help with!

  Correct, if it detects in unpigz it will use it. It will not compress layers with it, though.
