Just a comment on this, I run on an iMX device with an uncompressed 
kernel for a nice decrease in early boot time.  The kernel comes in at 
3MB uncompressed and the Qi bootloader I used pulls that in around half 
a second from uSD.

I use gzip for something else as it happens, but in the uncompressed 
case, boot is not dependent on gzip in the kernel.
