Not tried it yet with BackupPC. but tried pbzip2 with some big files,
and indeed, if you have multi-core CPU, it can speedup things.

For pool file, I don't think it can be used as files are compressed
using Compress::Zlib perl library.

But you can always use it for archived host, without modification needed
in BackupPC:

/usr/share/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -t -h host -n -1 -s "*" . | pbzip2 -c
> /mnt/extbackup/host.tar.bz2

I just saw there's also an equivalent for gzip:
http://www.zlib.net/pigz/
(I haven't tried it yet).
