At this end of the spectrum things really start to heat up. The compression
advantage is massive, with the lzo backend even giving much better results than
7z, and over a ridiculously short time. The improvements in version 0.530 in
scalability with multiple CPUs has a huge impact on compression time here,
with zpaq almost being as fast on quad core as xz is, yet producing a file
with zpaq almost being faster on quad core than xz is, yet producing a file
less than half the size.

What appears to be a big disappointment is actually zpaq here which takes more
than 6 times longer than lzma for a measly .3% improvement. The reason is that
than 4 times longer than r/lzma for a measly .3% improvement. The reason is that
most of the advantage here is achieved by the rzip first stage since there's a
lot of redundant space over huge distances on a virtual image. The -U option
