Overview of the Feature Request
The generation of archival Bags currently uses 8 threads to read datafiles when generating the zipped Bag. As part of work for TDL related to #7493, the associated PR lowers the default to 2 threads and makes threading configurable via a :BagGeneratorThreads setting which can be used with the existing archiver classes.
