[issue18744] pathological performance using tarfile

New info...

I see the degradation on most of the linux boxes I've tried:
* ubuntu-13.04, (raring), 64-bit
* rhel-5.4 64-bit
* rhel-5.7 64-bit
* suse-11 64-bit

I see some degradation on MacOsX-10.8.4 but it's in the acceptable range, more like 2x than 60x.  That is still suspicious, but not as problematic.
