xz-utils starting 5.2.0 (2014-12-21) support multi-threaded compression.
This version was added to Fedora 22 (2015-01-07) and also available in
CentOS 7.
-T 0 allows xz to use all available cores on the system assuming input
file is big enough and there is enough memory on the system.
Tested on SiFive HiFive Unleashed (RISC-V, riscv64) with Fedora and it
showed significant time savings.
