Sat 22 May 2010 10:32:34 PM UTC, comment #1: This would require TuxOnIce to maintain a stable image format and communicate us the expected behaviour. In many cases doing resume in bootloader is easier than in kernel itself. xnu uses this way. But it often happens that bootloader doesn't use the faster available method to read from disk so in some cases it may result in slower boot |

Currently grub has only gzip support. LZMA patches are underway. Importing LZO shouldn't be of any problem.
Firmware disk sevices are blocking and prevent multithreading. GRUB has native drivers for ATA and USB. Currently we're polishing and extending those drivers. Parallel support and decompress is on TODO list: https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?10079.
So what you ask for is possible and is one of goals but it's difficult to give an ETA
