Bug ID: 423583 Summary: wish: Add parallel compression and decompression to ark Product: ark Version: 20.04.1 Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org Reporter: kadamkiewicz...@gmail.com CC: rthoms...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Ark currently offers many compression algorithms but all of them use only a single thread. This makes ark unsuitable for working with large archives. I think ark would greatly benefit from providing parallel compression and decompression algorithms. At the beginning the parallel version of bzip2 can be added. They are many open source implementations available, for instance lbzip2: https://github.com/kjn/lbzip2. Later other parallel implementations can be added for example: PXZ, PLZIP or PIGZ.
