I was talking about relative sizes of U-Boot compared to available RAM.
Consider we have less than 1 Mb of RAM and U-Boot's size is ~200 kB - in that
case looking 20% of RAM is not what we really want.
In more typical case when we have tens, hundreds or thousands of megabytes of RAM
essentially loosing even another megabyte makes not much sense :)
