Public bug reported:
Xz-utils 5.6.0 was released last Friday. It features a much faster
decompression code on all platforms but on x86_64 in particular, it is
60% faster in my testing. It also aligns better current practices of
enabling multi-threading by default (always with a default memory limit
of 25% of the system physical memory).
Sebastian Andrzej Siewior has uploaded it to experimental and after a
few fixes for integration (due to extra output on stderr in particular),
has uploaded xz-utils 5.6.0-0.2.
I expect tests to pass now considering they almost all succeeded with the first
upload.
I am aware of tweaks to other packages too but I'm not sure they will actually
be needed with this new upload and since they relate to pristine-tar and/or
dpkg, I think it's probably better to be sure first due to the ongoing
migrations.
Thanks.
