the above sizes are with or without kernel?
Without.
Anyone knows how compression of cramfs compares to tar.gz? e.g. can we compare those sizes directly to our gzipped tarballs?
I did a quick exercise of uncramfs-ing and tar-gz-ipping the v7 versions back. Results:
49164288 filesystem_bin_alip-ael-armv7-thumb-full-reduced.cramfs 43832142 filesystem_bin_alip-ael-armv7-thumb-full-reduced.tar.gz 30633984 filesystem_bin_alip-ael-armv7-thumb-min-debug.cramfs 25872548 filesystem_bin_alip-ael-armv7-thumb-min-debug.tar.gz
