The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
two. Compression is slowest. The kernel size is about 33%
smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
+config KERNEL_XZ

+ depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
+ help
+ XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
+ BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
+ code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
+ comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
+ filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
+ will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
+
+ The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
+ speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
+ and LZO. Compression is slow.
