Currently the compression of sstate objects is single threaded. In the case of ltp, this takes around 33s. If we add pigz into the list of non-fatal HOSTTOOLS and then use if it available when building the sstate object, this time drops to around 6s.
Since pigz is now widely available this is an optimisation we should utilise.
