tramp-archive.el is implemented by using the archive backend of
GVFS. This means, that the file is mounted via fuse.
I wish we would have another implementation, for example integrating
libarchive(3) directly into Emacs. This would avoid mounting, and it
would allow us to use it on other platforms but GNU/Linux only. But
nobody has implemented this yet.
It is on my TODO under the section "When I really run out of ideas what
to do else". But this section doesn't get attention by me yet.
Anybody else is invited to implement a native libarchive(3) integration
into Emacs, as I have said several times already. Should we add this on
etc/TODO?
