This seems to be fixed in Ubuntu 16.10 based on simple observation (as opposed to a systematic test).

Imo there's no argument against using them by default because most user just will see an significant increase of speed with some decent default values for parallelization options (`-p` of `pigz`, etc.) based on the CPU (cores).
