I need to #compress a lot of #logfile's, so, again, tested #pbzip2 #lbzip2 #lzip #xz #pixz #pigz and #zstd.
The current winner for time/size race was "lzip -7" (which is same as plzip -7, uses all threads available). #Compression rate slightly below pixz but it's hugely faster (also has better fileformat π).
May have been some zstd only if it would be simple to figure out the right combo of 22 options.

I have a 20GB disk image of sparsely populated data -- less than 2GB used.
The pigz (parallel gz) compressed it into a 2GB file in 1m 30s on 4-CPU 8-Thread CPU from an NVME drive.
```
pigz -5c -b 4096 diskfile > diskfile.gz
```
-5 -- level of compression (0-9)
-b -- blocksize (default 128K)
-c -- write to stdout (keep the original)
