Description

Plzip is a massively parallel (multithreaded) data compressor compatible
with the lzip file format. The files produced by plzip are fully
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Plzip is intended for faster
compression/decompression of big files on multiprocessor machines. On
files big enough, plzip can use hundreds of processors. Currently only
compression is performed in parallel. Parallel decompression is planned
to be implemented later.

Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of
gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution
and data archiving.
