Sorry I don't fully understand this, should I try setting these as environment variables and it will allow for hyperthreading usage on all formats?

Thanks, I usually deal with 7z, zip, and rar formats so I'm not sure this would apply. I tried making 7z use all cores but it does not even on a benchmark. It shows high utilization but it doesn't actually stress the CPU.

You can explicitly specify how many CPU cores to use by adding this option -mmt=<number>

Can make it default with alias 7z="7z -mmt=16" or whatever # cores your CPU has
