As far as I can tell, the only problem with slowness reported so far
relates to the physical hardware and/or device driver.  Obviously, we
can't do anything about either one.  We provide the inst image as an
alternative for this reason, among others.

As far as more optimally packing the ISO image goes, sure, fine.  I fail
to understand your comment about alphabetizing.  We use mkisofs (not
surprisingly).  If you look in our subversion tree
(tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk) in Build/tools/MakeImages.sh, you will see
the exact invocation and how it is done.  Specific suggestions are
welcome.

    P.S.: Are you all on tex-live-ML?

Everyone so far is, yes.
