i wonder if we could #ifdef the sorting/hashing.  i tend to agree with 
Reinhard that it is very common for boards to be deployed with a small env, so 
i wonder if the normal runtime experience is actually faster, or if the 
difference is about the same as system noise: boot u-boot, load env with ~20 
entries, read a few env vars, boot OS.
