Pixz – Parallel, listed xz compressor

Pixz (pronounced pixie) is a parallel, indexing model of xz. The present XZ Utils present nice compression within the .xz file format, however they produce only one huge block of compressed information. Pixz as a substitute produces a group of smaller blocks which makes random entry to the unique information potential. This is particularly helpful for giant tarballs.
