Docker is indeed looking for a "unpigz" executable to use: https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/c9d2b7df777b38f7239a882c27...

So interesting if they implemented and tested that and get only a marginal CRC speedup.

edit: someone here seems to observe a ~ doubling with unpigz vs zcat: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/363739

igzip is even faster. See also my answer that contains a quick benchmark in that linked question at the bottom.
