The usage model for us is to lunch kernel in virtual machine and there
will be thousands of instances lunched and shutdowned/re-lunched
frequently, so every single million-second helps. And 13ms means 20%
improvement to our existing optimization (the other part besides
decompression is optimized to ~40ms).
