470
+ <P>NOTE: if LZMA2 is used, 7-Zip can split data into chunks and then it
471
+ compresses those chunks simultaneously using multiple CPU threads.
472
+ By default, there are 64 chunks in a solid block.
473
+ LZMA2 encoder uses about 2 CPU threads per chunk at compression level 5 or higher.
474
+ So by default LZMA2 encoder can use up to 128 CPU threads for compression,
475
+ if CPU supports such number of threads.
476
+
477
+ 7-Zip doesn't compress several solid blocks simultaneously to the 7z archive.
478
+ Thus, multitreading is provided only within a solid block of the 7z archive.
479
+ If solid block is large, then there are more chunks in solid block,
480
+ and LZMA encoder and decoder can use more cpu threads for compression and decompression.</P>
481
+
482
+ <P>Limitation of the solid block size usually decreases compression ratio but gives the following advantages:</P>
483
+ <UL>
484
+ <LI>it reduces data loss in case of future archive damage.
485
+ <LI>it reduces extraction time of a group of files (or just one

487

488

517

518

519
+ For example, NTFS volumes use sorting order "by name", so if an archive uses
520
+ another sorting, then the speed of some operations for files with unusual order
521
+ can fall on HDD devices (HDDs have low speed for "seek" operations).</P>
522
+
523
+ <P>If "qs" mode provides much better compression ratio than default "qs-" mode,
524

526

527
