Exactly this was the reason how I found the bug now. Instead of filing one. I changed compression type to lzop to make the update-initramfs call faster. But now I saw it gets run with -9 instead of -6 which is much faster on my notebook with i3. I don't care if the initramfs is 2 MiB bigger or smaller. But having it created faster would be nice.
