well, 4 years ago or so i discovered that my program can perform
compression (C) threads simultaneously only if i use forkOS. i don't
tried to jump to forkIO later

... just recompiled program with forkIO - it still works. at least on
this quad-core cpu. so it was just my laziness, sorry for all those
4-year noise :(
