By "loading and descrambling takes pretty long, will probably double your boot time" I meant an automatic startup rolo, when ajbrec.ajz is present. That's the way I've implemented it now, if such I file is present, it will get rolo-ed. To mimic the original firmware behaviour. But again, since flashing the second image is a risk-free breeze, this may be an outdated feature then.
