Speeding up restore times

We are acting as a data backup site for a sister installation.  We receive 
tapes of their critical libraries weekly.  The time it takes to restore these 
libraries could use some improvement.  I don't think it's the tape drive since 
it seems to be inoperative for quite some time while the system processes in 
the background.  The thing is, the system isn't working very hard on the 
restore process:  the CPU used by the job is minimal, the disk busy % is 
approximately 33%, the overall CPU used is negligible.

Is there anything that can be done to speed this up?

The OS is V5R2, the tape drive is a BCC Clone of a 3590, the system is a 
730/1506, the job is a standard batch 50/5000.
