Multithreading

The lz4 github page states that the algorithm is multithreadable. Is it possible to run lz4_flex on multiple cores?

There's no multi-threading in this crate, but it would be generally possible.

LZ4 1.10 is out now with multithreaded compression, which gives some nice speedups at higher compression levels.

Here's the PR that added multithreading https://github.com/lz4/lz4/pull/1336
