I get (for Fedora 16):

            with patch (lazy)     without patch
   testimage:  24.3 real            25.8 real
               30.2 user            30.7 user
                4.5 sys              4.9 sys

   hostimage:   8.4 real             9.3 real
                8.1 user             8.4 user
                1.5 sys              1.9 real

Did the cpio run in parallel?  cpio reads from a pipe just fine.

cpio needs enhancement: a flag argument for "no overwrite",
and another for "clone the ownership and permissions on
created directories" [else a copied path "a/b/c/d/e" which
must create any of a, b, c, or d will not reproduce the
existing ownership and permissions on those directories.]
