Indeed. U-Boot is a boot loader, so we assume you will always want to
load and boot.

-> size common/cmd_bootm.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7000     520       0    7520    1d60 common/cmd_bootm.o

Do you really think this will make any visible difference in terms of
download speed? It's probably just 3...5% of the image size.
