Awesome utility of the day: pigz

andrew:

Pronounced “pig-zee”, the description off their site is pretty self-explanatory:

A parallel implementation of gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines.

Since most servers now have multi processors, compressing large data can be accelerated using pigz (download here) as opposed to common built-in single-threaded tools like gzip/bzip2.
