- pixz: Parallel, Indexed xz Compressor
-
Pigz: Parallel gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines
That's really confusing since `pixz` exists and its "pixie" pronunciation actually works

Xz format considered inadequate for long-term archiving
pixz (https://github.com/vasi/pixz) is a nice parallel xz that additionally creates an index of tar files so you can decompress individual files. I wonder if dpkg could be extended to do something similar.
-
The best datahoarding hint that changed my live: use RAR archives (or any other archive format, really)
There's pixz, which indexes the tarball, allowing listing/extracting individual paths without decompressing the whole thing.
-
Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
Also relevant is pixz [1] which can do parallel LZMA/XZ decompression as well as tar file indexing.

7-Zip 21.0 alpha introduces native Linux support
Yes, it's as easy as installing pixz with symlinks pointing to xz (I think Debian even does this automatically as part of its post-installation scripts).

PeaZip 7.7.1 released!
Not quite what you're asking, but if you're a 7-Zip fan and on Linux, you might be interested in pixz.
