Moreover, it is strange that Plan9 running under QEMU on 2.4Ghz/Core2
Duo/2Gb RAM/250GiB SATA/IDE HDD machine out performs a natively
installed one.

how is that mounted ?
you've got two issues, how the tbz2 get to plan9 and then how long it
takes to unzip
try
% cd
% time cp /n/mon/mnt/sda9/Downloads/Plan9/mroot-linuxemu.tbz2 .
% time zxf mroot-linuxemu.tbz2
so we know what it is you're timing

a laptop drive of that general description is probablly good for 20mb/s
sequential io. assuming that the uncompressed archive is 3x larger,
you're getting about 1mb/s writes even with the slow decompression.
it looks like that archive is pulled over the network. since you have
a 3c905, that would be at a maximum of about 10mb/s. if you're
linked at 10mb/s, the limit is about 1mb/s.
i'd recommend checking the drive's speed with dd.
time dd -if /dev/sdC0/data -of /dev/null -count 5000 -bs 64k
i don't recall if the 3c905 will tell you its link speed. you can
try /dev/kmesg or /net/ether0/ifstats under mbps. the latter may be
the maximum mbps the card is capable of, due to the fact mbps is
used to size queues.
i like the suggestion to time pulling down the archive and sending it
to /dev/null. since you have enough memory. you could seperately
time extracting it to ramfs.

what is slower, exactly?
