资 源 简 介
Zipmt is a command line utility that speeds up bzip2 compression by dividing the file into multiple parts and compressing them independently in separate threads and then combining them back into a single .bz2 file. It depends on glib and libbz2 and is written in C.
Features:
Compresses files much faster then bzip2 with similar compression rates.
Uses multiple threads for multi-CPU efficiency gains.
Handy -v (verbose) mode lets you see progress per thread.
Can compress large (> 2GB) files.
Can compress from an input stream for pipeline processing.
Limitations:
Can not decompress (use bunzip2 for that).
Performance:
See for yourself.
It"s easy to see the difference on a large file:
/home/drusifer> ls -lh bigfile.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 drusifer drusifer 783M Mar 23 14:09 bigfile.txt
First I"ll use bzip2 to compress it:
