I'm attaching config I'm using for v4.18. In current boot, bzip2 takes
16 seconds.

user@devuan:~$ time cat /dev/urandom | head -c 10000000 | sudo nice
-n -19 bzip2 -9 - | wc -c
10044705
15.68user 0.53system 15.93 (0m15.931s) elapsed 101.82%CPU

I guess I should go back to v4.17 to get 12 seconds..?!

Confused,
Pavel
