> A: For reasons that are unclear the later versions of libzpaq create
corrupt archives when included with lrzip
> Q: When limiting processors with the -p option, lrzip still spawns twice as
many threads as specified with LZMA compression.
> A: LZMA compression uses a separate set of threads of its own. Should the
number of threads be critical for your application, set it to half the amount
you wish it to use.
> Q: Lrzip uses enormous amounts of resources.
> A: That is by design to obtain the maximum amount of compression in the
minimum amount of time. It should not be used on a production server unless
coupled with options to limit both its processor and ram resources.
