Either BSD tar is incredible fast on tarball listing, or or took
extraorbitarily long to issue an error message...
When reading uncompressed tar archives stored in regular files,
bsdtar uses lseek() operations to skip over the bodies of
files. Of course, when reading compressed archives or reading
from tape, it can't use this optimization. (The code for this
was contributed by a user who regularly backs up his systems to
very slow external USB disk drives; in that situation, this
optimization makes an even bigger difference.)
