80Kbs?  You sure about that?  I somehow failed to mention this before.  
I noticed it when I saw another reply to this post.  Reality check:

root@fireball / # ls -al /boot/initramfs-3.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5444240 Jan  1 07:24 /boot/initramfs-3.1.5-gentoo.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5515132 Jan  9 07:57 /boot/initramfs-3.2.0-r1.img
root@fireball / #

That's using the dracut tool.  Somehow, over 50Mbs is not anywhere close 
to 80Kbs, or maybe my calculator is broken.
