what about multithreaded compression with tar? Is anything related to this already planned?
You can easily achieve this using "--use-compress-program=plzip". http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/plzip.html"Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded), lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2".
