@mihaip @siracusa oh ALSO because I cannot actually shut up I would like to mention (even though you might know more about this than I do) but there’s a bunch of other stuff that influences GUI operations. For example your compression will go faster if it’s in the foreground

@mihaip @siracusa Because macOS will throttle apps that are not visible and this includes their XPC services unless they opt out and I don’t think Archive Utility does. Also I seem to remember it sets like an iopolicy or something to have less of an impact on your system

@mihaip @siracusa I am actually at my computer, and apparently compression_tool is single-threaded (I think this is a bug?) and what I was actually talking about was aa(1). Sorry for the confusion
