[gentoo-user] Speed up with pbzip2 or not!?

Hey guys! Yesterday I found this article http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Speed_up_decompression_with_pbzip2 and was very happy, because I'm an owner of an Q6600. So I tried to reproduce the benchmark from the wiki article but got that bad results: test # time *bzip2* -d -kf linux-2.6.23.tar.bz2 re
