With large tar file extracts I noticed that tarfile was slower than it should be. Seems in linux that for large files (10MB) truncate is not always a free operation even when it should be a no-op. ex: File is already 10mb seek to end and truncate. I created a script to test the validity of this patch. It generates two random tar archives containing 1024 files of 10mb each. The files are randomized so disk caching should not interfere. So to extract those 1g tar files the following was observed Time Delta for TarFile: 148.23699307441711 Time Delta for FastTarFile: 107.71058106422424 Time Diff: 40.52641201019287 0.27338932859929255 |

I ran this on Linux ext4. I didn't see much improvement on OSX with SSD. |
