LZO seems to be the fastest compression method it saves about 0.6 seconds. > I would > like to try to statically link the qi-bootmenu app to see if that makes a > difference size/performance wise. In the meantime I patched tslib so that it's filter plugins are embedded into it's main library. https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/tslib-general/2010-January/000253.html Configured eina and evas to do the same and statically linked qi-bootmenu. The resulting binary is about ~1.1M I should try to link it against libc.so because that's the only library that is used by multiple apps (busybox / kexec / dropbear). It now takes about 7.3 seconds from power on to the menu. This is with kernel boot messages enabled (disabling them should give some speed up).
