Yes, I just mentioned that users (like me) may have parallelized their jobs already. I'am sure that invoking 4 single threaded gzips will give you always more throughput than one 4-threaded and even more than 4 4-threaded ones. And the IO and CPU load will keep the machine more usable. Also I guess the mem usage will increase with more threads.
Well, in *that* case people could use -p 1.
Why they should? This is exactly the point. -p 1 is the default for gzip since 20 years or something. Option -p doesn't even exists for gzip. It's paradox to tell people to use -p for gzip when it doesn't exists. Those scripts will only run if they have the right update-alternative choosen or what? Is this good? Sorry, I simply doen't get the point why the hell when I type gzip (gnu-zip) suddenly another kind of pigz should pop up? I am actually capaple of typing pigz when I want to use it (and surely I will use it where it makes sense.) cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
