Speeding up extracting of large movie files (sh.itjust.works)

Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up.

My cpu isn’t the newest, it’s an i7 5820k, overclocked just a bit, but I have a hard time believing that a newer cpu on its own will have more than marginal gains on this front, but I could be way off here.

edit: I just realized my processor came out in 2014. So I'm sure in 10 years we've made some inroads, I thought I bought this guy in 2018.

Excluding everything that is more difficult to deal with (like getting an SSD/more RAM/more swap on Linux), have you tried using different extraction apps? Peazip is good: https://peazip.github.io/

Edit: Here are some benchmarks for fastest extraction, Peazip is very good https://peazip.github.io/peazip-compression-benchmark.html#7-zip_vs_winrar
