Martin, The standard LTSP kernels have the initrd included in them. this is for flexibility so the NIC will be automatically detected and the NFS server can be specified as a separate server.
The ltsp-3.0 documentation has a chapter on building kernels, and in there is the instructions for building a kernel without the initrd and statically linking the specific network driver into the kernel. The result should be a kernel of similar size to the 2.2 series kernel. once you get the size down, I expect the performance to be about the same as the 2.2 kernel. As for the education conference, I wish I could be there, but I'm sure you'll do an great job of telling the story.
