Afair I'm using PORTAGE_BZIP2_COMMAND with lbzip2 and it works fine. |

Also some time ago I've changed a bit the (famous?) stage4 backup |
| 17 |
script from g-wiki to support parallel gz/bz2 implementations (simple |
| 18 |
check if there pbzip2/lbzip2/foobar installed and if yes, use it instead |
| 19 |
of normal gzip/bzip2). |

Maybe portage should be like my stage4 mod? If it finds some parallel |
| 22 |
(de)compressor it should use it, if not fallback to standard gzip/bzip2? |
