Given the fact, that you did not run star -no-fifo, you compare an insecure implementation (gtar never calls fsync(2)) with a secure by default implementation (star).
Comparison numbers are only valid of the tests run are the same.
So here is the UFS test once more without the compression and with -no-fifo :
jupiter-sparc-SunOS5.10 # ptime /opt/schily/bin/star -x -xdir -xdot -no-fifo -U file=../linux-3.5.1.tar star: 46849 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 479733760 bytes = 468490.00k).
real 27:44.237 user 2.031 sys 42.419
Not a good result.
