Description
While working on HaikuPorts stuff, I noticed that for many recipes the actual creation of the .hpkg files can take quite a significant portion of the total build time (sometimes larger than the actual BUILD() + INSTALL() steps combined).
If at all possible, making /bin/package create able to use more than one CPU core during compression might offer significant speed ups, right?
After some light code reading, I guess it boils down to making SupportKit's BCompressionAlgorithm::CompressBuffer() use multi-threaded code on its derived classes (zlib/zstd).
For zstd, it seems like it would be possible via ZSTD_compress2() (ZSTD_c_nbWorkers parameter of the "advanced API").
