Also it's not worth it to recompress those files. It will take 4-5 hours on 4-threads CPU and you will save only 3.5 GB.

Kraken and Leviathan got a serious performance hit while switching from 2.5 to 2.6/2.7.

Example chunk compression time for leviathan level 5:
2.5.2 - 11 sec
2.6.0/2.6.2/2.6.3 - 3 min 20 sec

So it became 18 times slower, with a final size of data a little bit smaller. In some cases it's close to lolz.

then add more threads
also good to know there is something that uses leviathan, should be easy to add
