Just curious: Can you install the package advancecomp and run on that
ramdisk the command:
advdef -z -4 ramdisk.gz
and report back the results? Just to be extra safe, you may want to test the
recompressed image with:
gzip -t ramdisk.gz
If the image gets smaller, then you probably will have some space to put one
binary or another in it, so that said image will be more useful.

I don't know how, but it would be nice to see how much improvement one would
get from doing the same trick as above.
