[Zlib-devel] Parallel gzip

[Mark Adler]

All,

I have written a parallel implementation of gzip called pigz  
(pronounced "pigs").  It does compression over multiple threads in  
order to make use of multiple processors and/or cores.  If you would  
like to test it, you can get it here:

     http://zlib.net/pigz13.c

It should be linked with zlib 1.2.3 and a pthread library.  (This may  
require a -lpthread on the compile command.)

If you do test it, let me know how it goes.  Thanks.

Mark
