1156    <p>If you don't use the i486 version of <b>Clonezilla-SysRescCD</b> and your processor contains multiple cores and/or supports Hyper-Threading, parallel <b>gzip</b>, <b>bzip2</b>, <b>xz</b> and <b>lzip</b> compression methods are also available. Parallel compression means that each processor core compresses a different part of the image at a time. Without parallel compression one core compresses everything.</p>
1157    <p>The speed impact caused by parallel compression depends on the number of processor cores available. In addition, Hyper-Threading increases the speed by about 30 % if parallel compression is used. For example, if your processor contains four cores and supports Hyper-Threading, speed with parallel compression is nearly 5,2 times as high as without. However, parallel compression is currently an experimental feature.</p>
