I see a rar and unrar in rpmforge.

# yum --enablerepo=rpmforge list rar unrar
......
Available Packages
rar.i386
3.8.0-1.el5.rf rpmforge
unrar.i386
4.0.7-1.el5.rf rpmforge


there's probably other ports in places like EPEL but I didn't look there.

As was mentioned, rpmforge has it. For what it's worth, p7zip does the
same thing and somewhat more quickly at least in my very rough
benchmarks, e.g. time rar e something.rar vs 7z e something rar.

p7zip also has multi-thread support (multiple-CPU) and EXCELLENT
compression algorithm. I use it to compress some backup and log files
for StarOS wireless routers. Kernel logs are pulled every hour but
contain a lot of redundant info (previous parts of the logs). In that
environment, compression achieved is 10.000%, or 100 times smaller. 10MB
is packed into 100KB.

Did I understand right? "7z x" can unrar multipart *.rar archives
faster than unrar nonfree? How is the CLI syntax?

I doubt that, given it seems to be the same code:
"The decompression engine for RAR archives was developed using source
code of unRAR program."

I have a page where I cover this a bit.
http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/dvds.html (there's a
section on rar)

At any rate, on my VERY informal benchmarks, just using the time
command, it was faster.
The syntax for that is identical to rar/unrar

7z e <first file in the rar series>, so for example

7z e 01.rar

Will unrar a section of rar files.

To the contrary, I would even argue that if you base your implementation
on someone else's sourcecode, your implementation is at least as good, but
potentially better than the original.

Because when rewriting you have to understand the original, so
re-implementing provides you with the opportunity to improve. And since
you have to verify it works exactly the same, there's a good chance both
performance and correctness are guaranteed.

The original author may not have a reference to compete against.

Please visit this link mor more

or even better, read the manual for current version. It looks like Rar
files are not supported for multithreading.
