[OpenAFS-devel] Vos dump "performance"

I have some serious case of "vos dump slowness" here (on localhost)

gourami# date ; vos dump -id 537086828 -time 0 -localauth > /dev/null ; date
Tue May 12 11:40:00 CEST 2015
Dumped volume 537086828 in stdout 
Tue May 12 14:04:00 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 11:18:06 CEST 2015
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 On-line
