It must grow to 3.0GB and die (this is on an x86 host)..

$ lrzip -w 1 -l -L 9 linux-2.6.16.17.tar
linux-2.6.16.17.tar - compression ratio 3.127

$ du -sh *lrz
72M linux-2.6.16.17.tar.lrz

$ lrzip -w 10 -l -L 9 linux-2.6.16.17.tar
linux-2.6.16.17.tar - compression ratio 3.380
$ du -sh *lrz
67M linux-2.6.16.17.tar.lrz

Does not seem to come close unless I am doing something wrong.

Also, 7z can compress/decompress on stdin and it is multi-threaded (uses
1.8-2.2 CPU/cores).
