It does seem that this tool may be significantly faster than afsctool, but it would be nice to have a little more info on the output similar to it perhaps. Eg, afsctool output on an already compressed folder is:
$ afsctool -c -v -f -j8 -T LZVN folder

I can understand that the worker thread data is not pertinent in applesauce but I do think the other info might be useful to have / understand.
