cramfs sure looks interesting as an alternative to an initrd uncompressed
ramdisk or romfs.

A question for the knowledgeable about memory usage efficiency of Linux's
regular ramdisk though: does the kernel share read-only program text space
directly with the binary image data in the ramdisk, or does it copy the data
from the ramdisk when it execs a program?

Thanks,
Graham
