try tar-xvf, instead.

I have a similar problem, but I get an explanation as to why nothing is
happening. When I re-compiled my kernel, I don't know what file to copy as
my /boot/module-info-2.0.36, which is required for the kernel configuration
app.

cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you if you're using both CPUs. You should have
a separate dataset for each CPU. If you don't have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1,
you're only using one of the CPUs.
