This allows the compression plugin to use the tar binary (if found) for the creation and extraction of archive files, which improves performance. It also supports and detects the parallel compression utilities: pigz, lbzip2, and pbzip2. If any of these are installed, then they will be used to compress or extract archive files while utilizing all available CPU threads on the system, increasing performance even further. This will work natively in nearly all flavours of Linux, and Windows is also supported as long as a usable tar binary is present in the command path. It will fall back to using the existing Phar implementation if the tar command is not found.
