Is it bad if the laptop is utilizing 100% of the CPU while installing RDR2 from Fitgirl Repacks folder? (lemmy.zip)

The specs of my laptop are i5 12450HX, 12GB RAM, RTX 2050 $GB VRAM, Gen4 SSD, Win11. And how long should it take it general to install it because I already cancelled it once when it took around 1.5 hours. It was using the whole 100% of my CPU which kinda scared me

So is it normal for it to utilize 100% of CPU for extracting RDR2?

What kind of compression are they using if a H tier 12th gen i5 is running at 100% usage? I doubt a laptop with that tier of a CPU has that great of an SSD that can saturate the CPU. Unless it's single threaded or something.

    They put a lot of work into the repacks to make them as small as possible. Generally compression algorithms are chosen with a balance between compression and cpu requirements. Repackers don't care about that. They make them as small as possible with every trick known to man.

    And if the algorithm used can be decompressed with all available cores in parallel it's great as well.
