moin moin,

recently ran into and started using pigz ( parallel gzip ) and pbzip2 (
parallel bzip2 ) for faster compression on multi-proc servers. I like the
--loadavg option for pbzip2.

"Load average determines max number processors to use"

I have found it to not quite keep below the set limit, but it does pretty
good and I just set the limit lower than my threshold.

ciao,

der.hans
