7z doesn't offer number of threads

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

7z doesn't offer number of threads

Post by *AkulaBig »

The 7zip packer does not offer the number of threads for packing. That is, it does not put * in the number of threads. The packing speed greatly depends on the number of threads. For example, I have the ability to use 12 threads. And the standalone 7z offers 8 streams. If I compress a test folder of ~4 GB by 12 threads, the compression time is 03:44.
And if I select the default 8 threads, the packaging time is 02:33!!!

I prefer to let the user choose the number of threads for all packers, not change it when the user switches packers.
