Great, thanks for explaining. I was indeed concerned about speed, but I just tested the worst case scenario: single-partition XO-1 jffs2 boot with this olpc.fth loading kernel and initramfs from zip files, side-by-side against an unmodified one running otherwise the same setup, and the difference is indeed really small (I guesstimate less than half a second). I assume you've had a quick look at the file I attached - no obvious errors or problems that jump out at you?
