The zstd CLI produces deterministic output regardless of the number of threads 
used. `-T1` (or not specifying `-T`) will produce the same output as `-T0`. 
`-T0` will be faster for large files (at the default level, multiple jobs will 
be spawned for files > 8MB), and be just as fast as `-T1` for smaller files.
