Unfortunately, no, 'tar' is not an option, but the suggestion about a dump
wrapper seems to fit our situation. I will try the suggestion and see what
results from it.
For a complete different problem, I once wrote this quick hack,
called "slowdown".
Maybe it give some inspiration, or you can insert in a pipe just
after vdump in the dumpwrapper.

$BS =~ s/(\d+)k/$1 * 1024/ie;

while ($n = read(STDIN, $buf, $BS)) {
syswrite(STDOUT, $buf, $n) || die("$0: syswrite: $!\n");
sleep 1;
