lbzip2 – parallel bzip2 compression utility

lbzip2 integrates well with tar. Even on single-core computers, lbzip2 can speed up archiving in combination with tar.

Long Range Zip (Lrzip) is a compression program that can achieve very high compression ratios and speed when used with large files.

BZip3 bills itself as a “better, faster and stronger spiritual successor to BZip2”.

PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP machines.

bzip2 is a high-quality data compressor. This utility typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques.

gzip provides the standard GNU file compression utilities, which are also the default compression tools for Debian.

pixz is a parallel, indexed xz compressor. pixz produces a collection of smaller blocks which makes random access to the original data possible.

lzop is a file compressor which is very similar to gzip. lzop uses the LZO data compression library for compression services.

pigz is a fully functional replacement for gzip that uses multiple processors and multiple cores to the hilt when compressing data.

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data.
