Hi, At the buildd:
22477 buildd 30 10 97752 93m 420 R 100.2 2.5 26:15.31 dpkg-deb -Zxz --build debian/libwebkitgtk-3.0-0-dbg .. 26 minutes and counting compressing a dbg package. The buildd is quadcore, so considerable amount of time could be saved with parallel implementation. The mentioned implmentations are now all in debian: pigz - Parallel Implementation of GZip code lines 4304 pixz - parallel, indexing XZ compressor/decompressor code lines 2169 pbzip2 - parallel bzip2 implementation code lines 6119 (c++) Unsurprisingly pixz is also the most readable threaded compressing/uncompressing implementation. From a quick glance I guess the liblzma api makes it easier than others. Now that xz is a) default b) most cpu-heavy, perhaps it's also the only one worth parallelizing.
