regression in _FileInFile which is used in file-like objects returned by TarFile.extractfile(). The inefficient design of the _FileInFile.read() method causes various dramatic side-effects and errors: - The data segment of a file member is read completely into memory every(!) time a small block is accessed. This is not only slow but may cause unexpected MemoryErrors with very large files. - Reading members from compressed tar archives is even slower because of the excessive backwards seeking which is done when the same data segment is read over and over again. - As a backwards seek on a TarFile opened in stream mode is not possible, using extractfile() fails with a StreamError.
