There is no such thing. You "raw bps" will vary greatly depending on
your blocksize and other factors.

It's not 1996 anymore. The -C option to cpio and the block size for tar don't make the difference that they did back then.

I don't see any point in perpetuating the myth that with Windows it "just works" but with Linux you have to be a Guru to make things work. Using a big enough buffer size to keep things from being toally inefficient it not rocket science. The kernel does that for you. And if it didn't, the best thing to do would be to steer clear of it.
