I'd very much hope for SP4, too, as expressed in my kernel ML posting. If we
consider this change risky, we should enable it in _early_ beta in order to be
able revert if necessary, not vice versa.

I have systematic results only for initramfs, where the differences are
smaller, probably because the default compression level in dracut (SUSE) was
"xz -0" whereas we've been using just "xz" for the kernel, which defaults "xz
-6".
