The pixz compressor provides parallized compression/decompression (desirable on modern CPUs), uses LZMA (like 7zip or xz), and provides indexed access when used as tar's compressor. The last of these is what you want.

https://github.com/vasi/pixz

$ tar cvf foo.tar.pixz -Ipixz foo/

pixz is packaged in Debian-family distros.
