Thank you for your thoughts.
Let's first summarize what tricks are done for `xz`:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/28b3704034a9c772959485a130b918f414da9796/rpmio/rpmio.c#L811-L859
- the compression supports `%{_xz_memlimit}` limit
- for 32-bit it calculates how much memory will be used based on
`lzma_stream_encoder_mt_memusage`
The logic seems to me very complex :) and I'm curious if it counts with a fact
that multiple `rpm` files are compressed in parallel?
`zstd` does have a similar function for memory usage, but not available for
multi-threaded mode:
https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/2232
I see the biggest challenge in the concurrent runs. About the 32-bit targets:
from SUSE perspective we don't case much as we can happily use non-threaded
mode for them.
