 > Also, naively reducing the space taken by bootanim (11) will actually
 drastically increase RAM usage, since mmapped pages are clean & can be
 swapped out to the backing store, while uncompressed images will be dirty
 & thus pinned in RAM.

 My assumption was that you'd do the decompression as needed, directly to
 the display.
