    Why can softwares utilize all the resources avaiable to them in system for speedy task completion.

    I think, Extracting/Compressing is File I/O operation which mainly uses your disk performance, CPU is there just to support it. Same task will run faster on SSD/NVMe as compared to HDD, even if you have high-end CPU.
