This is totally weird!
Untar should be faster then tar on a any normal
computer under normal os with normal hdds.
So, your problem could be:
1) Your hdds are way too slow
2) Incorrect HDD interface setup
3) Your FS setup is terrible (like no write chaching at all)
4) The machine which you are untarring on has a very weak CPU
