Turns out it's a wash. On my arch machine the uncompressed image is 27M, with lz4 it's 14M. Both take around 10s to desktop according to `systemd-analyze` (which includes 3s bootloader timeout).
Though I did figure out that for some reason my system was running "lvm2-monitor.service", which took 1s all by itself for doing absolutely nothing (don't use lvm). So I masked that and gained more time than any compression method could.
