LZO seems to be the fastest compression method it saves about 0.6 seconds.

In the meantime I patched tslib so that it's filter plugins are embedded
into it's main library.

Configured eina and evas to do the same and statically linked qi-bootmenu.
The resulting binary is about ~1.1M I should try to link it against libc.so
because that's the only library that is used by multiple apps (busybox /
kexec / dropbear).
It now takes about 7.3 seconds from power on to the menu. This is with
kernel boot messages enabled (disabling them should give some speed up).
