It is, and I think that's true for most, if not all of the archival
python modules, unfortunately.  I did a prototype of do_unpack using
them once, it was not a pretty picture ;)  Easily doubled the overall
unpack times in a build.  I wonder if a version done as a C/cython
extension would be much better, and if such a thing already exists..
hmm...
