No, I have an old E8400 w/ 8GiB of RAM.

I reran the 7z compression with time measurement. Decompression of the
previous 7z archive took ~3 seconds to a ram drive.

Looking at the exact numbers, I guess I overestimated :), it did take a
considerable amount of time and multithreading isn't very impressive:
real    10m39.469s
user    12m14.888s
sys    0m3.839s

But I agree, from what I have seen, xz is certainly superior to bzip2.
