# The functions below use parallelized versions of gzip, xz, and bzip2 to | |
# improve compression/decompression performance of RDS serialization in R. | |
# Each function searches for the appropriate program (based on the required | |
# compression format) and if found, offloads the compression handling to the | |
# external program and therefore leaves R free to do the data import/export. | |
# The two main functions (saveRDS and readRDS) mask R's native read and write | |
# functions. The functions have been only tested on macOS, but they must work | |
# on any Linux/Unix. | |

# Requires the following packages: pxz, pbzip2, and pigz. |
