12461,Consider using parallel bzip2 for .tar.bz2 downloads,Phil Endecott,,"pbzip2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 file compressor;
files compressed using it are compatible with regular bzip2, but 
to get speedup while decompressing with pbzip2 the file must have 
been compressed with pbzip2.

In a quick test, decompressing/untaring Boost 1.61.0 is more than 
4 times faster on an 8-CPU system using pbzip2 than using regular 
bzip2 on the same machine.

There is a minute increase in file size, much less than 1%.

Please consider using pbzip2 to create the official .tar.bz2 files.
