Subject:   Slow loading of the kernel from efifs ?

I've noticed that it takes a long time for the boot loader to load the
kernel from the efifs (especially for the GENERIC kernel which is 9MB
or so in size). I also noticed that the efifs read function is using a
8K block size to read data. Has anyone tried bigger block sizes ? 

Also, Why not read it using just one big EFI_FILE.Read call ?
