However, implementing this is slightly tricky until I make Obnam can run external tools -in the background, rather than waiting for them to finish. The compression it uses right now is -done with the Python standard library `gzip` module, so it doesn't require executing an -external program, so the issue doesn't rise. However, we need the backgrounding feature -anyway, since encryption uses an external tool, and so there's a big performance impact -from using encryption.
