Boot time is a combination of load time and decompression time.

Using a non-compressed kernel can increase boot time, so it's
interesting to test this properly.

Some public results show that using a fast decompression codec such as
LZO results in the smallest overall boot time on some platforms.

Your milage may vary, let us know what worked best for you, good luck,
