Per opencontainers/image-spec#803 using zstd compression seems to be on peoples minds.

After reading about it, it seems it's been designed with parallelism in mind, among just being faster on a single core as well. I think it would definitely speed up some of our use cases, at least.

Issue #14 describes the initial matchers needed. This ticket should be picked up once all those are in place, to extend further:

• pacman
• poetry
• pipenv
• yarn

After a deep reading of the code because of issue #4, I think the code as it stands today is not maintenance friendly. The addition of unit testing is advisable.
