I was trying to create a usb bootable for W20 iso. now the default program uses 7zip. my system utilization was only 1% to 3 % most. Why ? Why can't 7zip use all the resources it has on the system to complete the task faster ?
If I'm not mistaken, 7zip is single threaded. And in compression/decompression of files on an ssd, the bottleneck is how fast a single cpu core can do the task. So if you have a 128core processor and a quad core processor, and you use a single threaded program, 7zip will still use only one thread due to the nature of how it works (assuming clockspeed and IPC and architecture is the same).I was trying to create a usb bootable for W20 iso. now the default program uses 7zip. my system utilization was only 1% to 3 % most.
