Not the stock version, but the version I've continued developing does. About the same way as that'd work with find I guess: it'll build a list of all files to compress (= only those that can be compressed), and will then fire up the desired number of worker threads that'll empty the list each handling files as they can/go. I've experimented with additional locks to prevent concurrent disk I/O but even on a spinning disk that appears not to be required.
