I did a few improvements to reduce the number of calls to update- initramfs, however when it's actually called, it'll take up to 5 minutes on a recent i7 quadcore machine, so I can totally believe that a slow atom machine can take close to half an hour, it's sadly not something we can fix in casper as it's really down to the CPU's ability to do efficient lzma compression.
