The kernel config isn't the problem. You haven't enabled the delayed
logging feature. Add 'delaylog' to your fstab mount options for XFS
devices, remount (or reboot if necessary) and it should decrease the run
time of kernel tar extractions between 10x and 100x.
Also, slap yourself in the forehead at least 3 times for running your
root filesystem on RAID 0. That's akin to riding a motorcycle, naked,
in a blizzard, down a steep, winding, ice covered mountain road with no
guard rails and a 3000 ft drop. ;)
