Since RAM run faster than flash, would this speed up the
respond time on the 2500? If so, even on those 2500's with
enough flash, the .z files should be used.

Yes. I've done this both ways in my lab at home. Normally a 2500 runs from
flash, but if it detects the .z ending it will uncompress the image in ram
and not run it in flash. This will also work for booting from tftp.

Aaron

Even for the 2500 series?
