Severity: wishlist
package.el uses tar-mode.el to unpack tar files. This can be very slow
for tar files which have many small files. As an example see
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/yasnippet-classic-snippets-1.0.2.tar.
tar-untar-buffer for that file currently takes 11.5 seconds on my
machine. After (setq write-region-inhibit-fsync t) it takes 1.2
seconds. When further binding inhibit-message to t around the call, it
takes 0.3 seconds. Which is the same as running tar -xf.
Patch to follow.
