$ time for i in {1..1000}; do bsdtar -tf
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.33.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz -q \*
>/dev/null; done

$ time for i in {1..1000}; do file -bizL
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.33.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz >/dev/null;
done

So,

Is the only reason the 'case in file -bizL' block is still there is because no
one has written a patch for it?

Because now you've got your performance sorted out.
