I had to be more precise... there is only TAR.GZ tarball [1].
$ cd ~/src/linux-2.6
$ tar -xf files/linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.gz
$ tar --use-compress-program=xz -cf files/linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.xz linux-2.6.38-rc2/
$ ls -l linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.* -rw-r--r-- 1 sd sd 94091552 22. Jan 04:57 linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 sd sd 64857696 22. Jan 12:25 linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.xz
$ du -h linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.* 90M linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.gz 62M linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.xz
$ du -k linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.* 91892 linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.gz 63344 linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.xz
$ file linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.* linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sat Jan 22 04:33:14 2011, max compression linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.xz: XZ compressed data
Default compression-level of XZ is 6 (9 is best), so a 28M smaller tarball as a number speaks for itself.
