Changing compression configuration

[Karmanyaah Malhotra]

I'm wondering if it would be possibly to somehow use something like
(pbzip2)[https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/pbzip2/]
instead of just regular bzip2 when compressing files. I'm not sure if
this would work with how GnuPG is designed, but it would be nice if
compression could be multi-threaded since using one thread is the
bottleneck in my system when using GPG with large files (backups so 100s
GBs).

I have tested that encryption can be sped up by disabling compression
but that would increase storage usage. (or using another algorithm, but
ZLIB and ZIP are both CPU bottlenecked).

Thanks,
