Recommended unarchiver on Linux?

What's the recommended procedure for unpacking the download on Linux? 'tar jxf' from a terminal seems to be working -disk usage is generally trending upward, anyway- but it's taking forever; I'm up to about 15 minutes at this point, and I get the impression that it's not supposed to take this long. Would it be better to uncompress and then unarchive, rather than trying to do both in one step?

I was able to open the archive, and then extract all the files, using whatever came up when I double-clicked it's icon. Now that I check, I apparently used "file-roller'.
This took a long time for me as well; I didn't time it, but 15 minutes for each step sounds about right, if not longer depending on your system. I don't know this takes so long, (super-heavy compression?), but after making sure the all of the files were extracted successfully, and making the .sh file executable, KS launched and ran without a hitch.

tar -xvvf works just fine for me
