Description

Provides a parallel implementation of the bzip2 compressor. It can compress and decompress bzip2 data using multiple CPU cores to improve throughput on large files.

Use it when working with large .bz2 files and you want faster compression on multi-core systems. Compression can be CPU-intensive, so tune parallelism when the machine is busy.
