Afio faster than Cpio???

[Dan Troxel VP]

Is it true that afio is faster than cpio? When I run it on a Convergent
S/640 (25MHZ 68020), on 5.33 megs, afio takes 45 to 50 seconds longer
than cpio. Any suggestions as to what I need to do to get the speed up?
The reason I need afio, is that the CT box cpio doesn't handle the
magnetic tape to well. (reel-to-reel)
