Comment on Many times faster (de)compression using multiple processors.parent

Yes, it's in the benchmarks. But comparing against bzip2 is not very meaningful. It's more relevant to compare with compressors in the same efficiency rate. For those flags it compresses to 26MB, in that range there are many equivalent ROLZ/LZP engines with similar numbers. For example csc32 is a bit faster but uses more memory.

Proper analysis would need benchmarking with different data and different flags for all compressors.
