Using xz certainly is slower than using zstd so it certainly will regress on your first consideration about build time. booting is perhaps not impacted unless compressed file system is used and you are changing the compression type for that. flashing again is subjective, if you carry package metadata into images it might matter otherwise I would think your images with opkg or rpm should be about the same size if you include packager into your image then opkg might be slightly smaller. > > -Niko
