its a cls that allows you to multi thread things such as lzma64 or zstd bcm etc..
some it won't work with

the more cores and ram you have the faster you can pack and unpack
with my settings i used 6 threads to compress and decompress

Are you using SREP inside (CLS-SREP.DLL) or [CLS-SREP.DLL + CLS-SREP_X64.EXE, CLS-SREP_X86.EXE] method? Both were uploaded by Profrager on Krinkels.

I use the DLL + EXE method.

I tagged below a copy of srep + srep64 for packing and the cls plugin + 2 exes for unpacking. CLS.ini is also included. Add that into your decompressor and it works just fine.

Edit: I've never used Razor's CLS-SREP. I didn't know that one existed up until about 5 mins ago.
