I have a 20GB disk image of sparsely populated data -- less than 2GB used.
The pigz (parallel gz) compressed it into a 2GB file in 1m 30s on 4-CPU 8-Thread CPU from an NVME drive.
```
pigz -5c -b 4096 diskfile > diskfile.gz
```
-5 -- level of compression (0-9)
-b -- blocksize (default 128K)
-c -- write to stdout (keep the original)
