You can drive tar, zip, gzip, lharc, arj, bzip2, or just about any other
archive program from the command line, and that means you can do it from
a php script with a system() call.

Note that zip with no compression is just as fast as tar or anything
else.  Yes, it stores the directory at the end of the archive, but it's a
fine way to go and perhaps more recognizable to more surfers out there.

stuffit expander will untar files on mac os9 and osX
tar will (obviously) untar on *nix boxes
winzip will untar files on windows machines

as for tar's speed, it's bloody fast.
