Describe the feature/enhancement

Any way to impliment using multithreaded pigz instead of gzip in compression of the database/data to increase speed of searching of libraries?
And have the script see how many processor the machine has and limit it to one or two less than maximum?

in case you are using gzip in any of your processing...if not disregard

Will allow for much more streamlined and much faster multi-core processor usage in order to gzip compressed files such as backups and whatever

Thanks, this isn't being used but I'll keep that in mind
