Of course, but I'd already done that, just as I'd already written the
uncompressed tar file to disk. I don't think it would be fair to compare
a full read/write cycle with compression against just reading without
compression. If your point is that there are algorithms which are much
slower at compressing than at uncompressing, I agree. There are others
which aren't, though.
