But pigz needs all you CPU power do be that fast! If you have running VMs, it will be as slow as normal gzip, or it will massively slow down the VMs. I am really afraid this will trigger many support calls ... Make the default number of pigz CPUs 2, this should not have much of a CPU impact

You could even make it so using pigz requires a setting in vzdump.conf. So in GUI you still can only select gzip or lzop. If set to gzip and vzdump.conf has pigz:on then pigz is used instead of gzip. Most novice users are only going to use the GUI, this would reduce the likelyhood of them

user from pve-user mailing report than using pigz (multithread gzip), improve a lot speed of compression backup. Maybe could we use add it ? (or maybe replace gzip ?) We already have lzop, which is as fast as pgzip and uses less resources. So what is the advantage of pgzip? IMHO a parallel
