I did the same experiment in an VMWare guest (SLES10 x64). The archive was 
stored on the vdisk and untarring went to the same vdisk.
The storage backend is sun system with 64 GB RAM, 2*QC cpus, 24 SAS disks with 
450 GB, 4 vdevs with 6 disks as RAIDZ2, an Intel X25-E as log device (c2t1d0).
A StorageTek SAS RAID Host Bus Adapters with 256 RAM and BBU for the zpool and 
a second HBA for the slog device.
c3 is for the zpool and c2 for slog (c2t1d0)/boot (c2t0d0) devices.
There are actually 140 VMs running and used over NFS from VSphere 4 with two 1 
Gb/s links.
