Unreal Engine takes too long to compress

I am trying to upgrade the unreal-engine AUR from 5.4.2 to 5.4.3. As it is a huge package, I let it running while I slept. While the compilation process was flawless, the command line has been stuck at "Compressing Package..." for roughly 11 hours. Does it really take this long to compress this package? I have no idea whether it is actually making progress or is unable to proceed due to some error. CPU and Memory usage remains high so I hope it is the former. Is there any way to speed up the compression?

Re: Unreal Engine takes too long to compress

Yes, this might be caused by the packager-focused compression settings set by default in makepkg.conf: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … /issues/23
Also I really wonder if somebody has a precompiled version of this package somewhere
