Just tried it here. Whilst the files are copied with the correct permissions
(yay), something seems to block the filename output from tar, causing the
progress bar to sit at 2% until very near the end - it then shoots up quite
quickly.
As a bonus, before reading your reply I had re-implemented this
functionality in C which sped it up by a factor of 4 - using tar seems to
have the same effect.
