I would be willing to work on a SMP version of tar (initially just gzip or
something).
I don't have the best experience in compression, and how to multi-thread it,
but I think I would be able to learn and help out.
gzip cannot - it is single stream.
bzip2 - no idea
grzip (from ports, i use it) - can be multithreaded as it packs using
fixed large chunks.
