The key to malkia's strawman is that pigz does not give the same results as the sequential "c" version of gzip. AFAIK gzip is not parallelizable as-is because every symbol depends on the previous symbol; pigz breaks this dependency to get parallelism but gives up a little compression efficiency. In practice this does not matter, which is why LZ is not a good example. |
