Hi guys,

I made a patch for lazy installing the files with cpio.

I am interested what the difference in speed is, to evaluate, if it is worth the
hazzle.

The patch:
http://git.surfsite.org/?p=dracut.git;a=commit;h=df512139fe9c23b84a2213c934e7a7feb354bdcc

can be found on git://git.surfsite.org/pub/git/dracut.git branch:lazyinstall

I am interested in:

$ time sudo make testimage
$ time sudo make hostimage

Both with and without the patch.

Thanks for testing!
