@manawyrm @gsuberland would a zstd compressed kernel save some time?

@thomask77 @gsuberland Yes, saves a bit of time, but the decompression uses lots of energy. Not the right tradeoff for my application (where total energy is king, not time). SD cards are fast -- best option would probably be to write a home-grown mini bootloader and read an uncompressed kernel at full 50+ MByte/s.
