Other comments here are good, but one thing that's worth pointing out:
Encoding time isn't as important as decoding time since encoding is generally a once-off operation.
Yeah, we all want faster encodes, but the decodes are the most important part (especially in the web domain).
I know, thats why I used max CPU settings. But when processing map tiles with a final total compressed size of half a terabyte, and each one is 200kB, taking 20s per tiles is prohibitively expensive.
