Parport documentation is in Documentation/parport.txt. I'm afraid that
tunelp is deprecated. I expect this is an interrupts problem.
Please try telling parport not to use interrupts on the parallel port by
giving it a base address without an IRQ (eg. modprobe parport_pc io=0x378
or boot with parport=0x378) and let me know if that makes it faster.
Tim.
