I am sorry that you don't believe us.
Have you looked at the man page for
gzip? Does the man page for the version of
gzip you are using say anything about it being able to zip multiple files into a single archive (other than by zipping an archive containing multiple files?
You are, of course, free to build your own utility similar to
gzip that might be able to do what you want, but the resulting archive would not be able to be unzipped by any existing
gunzip utilities to restore your original files in one step.
The file format used by
gzip when creating a file with the
.gz suffix contains information describing the data needed to decompress the data in that file. It does not contain a table of contents needed to enable it to contain multiple compressed files.
Creating additional threads is not going to solve your problem!
