'tar' is fast.  You just do not want to compress with a computationally  
demanding algorithm.  GZip should be OK.

Encrypting with a public key:
$ tar -czf /dev/stdout ~/.prn | gpg -eo prn.tar.gz.gpg -r  
lcerf[at]dcc.ufmg.br
Encrypting with a password:
$ tar -czf /dev/stdout ~/.prn | gpg -co prn.tar.gz.gpg
Decrypting:
$ gpg -d prn.tar.xz.gpg | tar -xz
