If you continue to use cpio and the cpio archive format, you force copying a lot of data as the cpio archive format does use odd header sizes and starts new files "unaligned" directly after the archive header.
Note that the output of cpio is sent to /dev/null in this test so it is only the reading part which is significant as long as cpio's CPU use is low. Sun Service won't have a clue about 'star' since it is not part of Solaris 10. It is best to stick with what they know so the problem report won't be rejected.
If star is truely more efficient than cpio, it may make the difference even more obvious. What did you discover when you modified my test script to use 'star' instead?
