Makefile.lib: Lower kernel gzip compression to fastest
You're reading this - so you're trying to understand "JUST WHY OMG". That's already a good step. First of all, this is a downstream kernel - always keep that in mind! Now, this kernel is targeting new *very powerful* Qualcomm platforms like SM8250 and the Sony Edo platform - which has a very fast UFS card. Keep in mind that the bootloader sets the CPU at a frequency that is slightly faster than the "in the middle" ones, which is anyway not veeeery fast - but that's good, really. I agree. So.. check this out: for Image.gz-dtb..... COMP_LEVEL SIZE 9 20116171 5 20220479 2 20940223 1 21231290 Remember again that we're loading from a UFS card and that we are loading ~1.1MB more out of a 20MB file. If you're smart enough you surely know already about RAM and CPU overhead of very high compression levels. If you still disagree with what I just did, read this commit description another 20 times, or more, until you understand it. :)))
