Is it possible to unzip a compressed file with multiple threads? [closed]

bash unzip

In short: No, unzipping with multiple cores is not available.

The decompression normally has lower CPU-intensity than the compression (where multiple cores are often involved).

You wouldn't have much of an advantage anyway as the read/write-operations are more of the bottlenecks during decompression.

bash unzip

thy pigz which takes advantage of the multi cores and unzips in multiple threads
