True but i made a test with or without vi applet:

busybox without vi: 371140
busybox with vi: 388248

so the difference is only of 17k.

For me it's better to always compile busybox with vi (so there an editor in ALL 
platform in initrd), than to have a mechanism to enable/disable vi applet 
depending on the platform architecture (just to gain 17k).
The simple way is always the best ?
