I'd also like this opportunity to make a small plug for my compression application, lrzip, which now features full compression and decompression to/from STDIN/STDOUT and high grade password encryption, and is now heavily multithreaded on both compression and decompression cycles.
It can be downloaded here:
http://lrzip.kolivas.org

See this post for the evolution details:

And see this post about using it for a kernel compression exercise:

Please enjoy!
