Today, we have lots of RAM. I could easily spend some GB for tar.
So would it be possible to allocate many file-sized buffers

fill them in parallel with several read threads or async read calls,
and sequentially write them to the archive whenever a file read
has completed?
I don't see why not. It's just a simple matter of programming.
One could use pread to do parallel reads even when tarring a single
large file.
