This is very slow. But, is it possible that your tar command is too clever?
On a 85GiB volume with 370000 files I see the following:
# date; tar -c -f - . | cat >/dev/null; date
Wed May 13 13:44:29 CEST 2015
Wed May 13 13:59:48 CEST 2015
# date; tar -c -f /dev/null . ; date
Wed May 13 14:00:16 CEST 2015
Wed May 13 14:00:20 CEST 2015
# date; vos dump -id 536978585 -time 0 -localauth >/dev/null; date
Wed May 13 14:02:23 CEST 2015
Dumped volume 536978585 in stdout
Wed May 13 14:27:31 CEST 2015

I can compare to "tar" over the same data:

gourami# cd /vicepa/AFSIDat/e=/eho+U
gourami# date ; tar cf /dev/null . ; date

Tue May 12 11:22:36 CEST 2015

Ok, vos dump is doing a little more than tar, but has anyone any idea
in what corner to dig after this? Probably it has to do with that the
volume has many files (in relative few directories).

$ vos exa 537086828 -c pdc.kth.se -ext
common.var.easy.a-pop.backup      537086828 BK    5084378 K used 2367409 files
