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 😉).
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)
