If you find 1.5x-faster gzip useful, you should consider benchmarking pigz, a parallel gzip implementation that goes faster still: https://zlib.net/pigz/

Similarly there's lbzip2 ( http://lbzip2.org ) for parallel bz2.

Good point. But for my use case, I have hundreds or more of logfiles, and I parallelize at that level already. So I'm concerned with the total CPU time per file more than anything else.
