Looking at the patches I can't really see where that large increase in image size comes from; but if its really true, it seems to be a very high price to pay for those who get along with the environment as it is.
i wonder if we could #ifdef the sorting/hashing. i tend to agree with Reinhard that it is very common for boards to be deployed with a small env, so i wonder if the normal runtime experience is actually faster, or if the difference is about the same as system noise: boot u-boot, load env with ~20 entries, read a few env vars, boot OS. -mike
