As for (2), the licensing issue... this appears to be a show stopper for
using LZO. As I've said, I'm not wed to any particular compression
algorithm, so I'm happy to revert to Gzip or another suggestion if
there's one. For my own use case, my precious resources are RAM and disk
space. Runtime is not a concern to me as this operation is already
dwarfed by other things on my critical path.
From what I have seen in recent years, xz and 7z appear to be rather good
compression algorithms, but also a bit slow.
7z seems to support multithreading at the least: today that should be
standard for any time-consuming algorithm, but it still isn't.
