Pixz (pronounced 'pixie') is a parallel, indexing version of XZ. The existing XZ Utils provide great compression in the .xz file format, but they produce just one big block of compressed data. Pixz instead produces a collection of smaller blocks which makes random access to the original data possible. This is especially useful for large tarballs. Originaly packaged by ISIHARA Takanori as pkgsrc-wip/pixz and updated to 1.0.7 by me.
