That "compact" option affects the loading of kernel and initrd from disk - the step when LILO draws points.
The decompression stage (about which the OP talks) is after this step.
However, the multi-core thing on LILO is doubtfully, considering that LILO is a 16 bit program no different of old good MS-DOS applications, and it runs in real mode, or something similar.
