We discussed that at the UDS session; although it's good for
an image which is intended to be installed once and then used
a lot thereafter, it doesn't work quite so well for one-off
testing, since it makes the initial startup a lot slower (and
the extra work can be unhelpful if you were eg interested in
timing or profiling system boot).
