I think the tarball is produced on the fly, so it isn't the bandwidth
that limits the speed, it's the CPU processing resources needed to
xz-compress the files. Try the same with .tar.gz, and you will see
quite a different speed.

No, I think 3 min should be enough. But I don't really understand why
there has to be a limit.
