Slow TAR from SUN

I have received a DLT III tape (density 10/15) that was created using TAR on
a SUN server and find that it is very slow to read (120 KB/sec) using a TZ89
(35/70) drive connected to a GS140 Tru64 v5.1 pk5.
 
The data on that tape is TIFF images imbedded in PDF files with an average
of 4MB each. I noticed that when I started TAR it displayed "blocksize = 1".
 
Is 120 KB/sec normal with this setup?
If not, any suggestions to improve the throughput?
Blocksize maybe? What value?
 
 
Thanks in advance.
