I've been struggling with insanely long LLVM package times back in 2017*,
ultimately deciding to package with PKG_NOCOMPRESS=1 and perform compression
separately.  I've settled with `archivers/lbzip2' for now (you can find some
numbers in that email thread).  The only minor nuisance with bzip2 is its
longer decompression times, so I might look at something else eventually;
luckily, PKG_NOCOMPRESS=1 unties me from any particular compressor.
