This program parallelizes the BZIP2 compression process to achieve a near-linear performance increase on SMP machines. On a two-processor Xeon machine, the speedup is around 180%. The tool's main purpose is to aid performing heavy-duty server backups.

The initial release was made today. The program should be fairly stable, but more testing is welcome. If you happen to have SMP machine, have fun! Please see the homepage for details: http://bzip2smp.sourceforge.net/
