Thank you. That was it. Disabling the tests reduces the time to 51 μs. ``` kernel: calling rsa_init+0x0/0x40 @ 1 kernel: initcall rsa_init+0x0/0x40 returned 0 after 51 usecs ``` It’d be nice to be able to disable the testmgr during run-time by adding an option to the Linux Kernel command line for example.
