My suggestion: fast, multi-threaded bzip2 filter program
Fixed, thanks.
lbzip2 is a multi-threaded implementation of bzip2, suited for synchronous and parallel processing. On a multi-core computer, lbzip2 is commonly the fastest bzip2 decompressor for most bz2 files found on the internet. (On dual-core computers, the 7za utility from the p7zip-full package may prove more efficient.)
s/synchronous/serial/? I don't understand synchronous processing in this context; please explain.
Thank you, lacos
