Bug Description
Brief Description
-----------------
In my 12-CPU build VM, Debian-based StarlingX build takes about 9~10 minutes to compress the kernel's source code archive with a single-threaded instance of "xz". Having to wait 9 minutes for this, at least in my opinion, is not acceptable, especially given that the kernel's compilation procedure takes an additional 20~25 minutes in the same build VM.
Ideally, the xz compression should be made multi-threaded, so that the compression ratio is not affected, but the compression time is reduced.
Severity
--------
Minor: A build issue affecting the build's duration only.
Note
----
I already have a patch for this, and I am opening this bug report as a placeholder to refer to. This is why I did not answer all of the questions in the bug report template.
