Have you looked at other utility collections like Heirloom and Toybox? I read that Toybox is being developed by a former developer of Busybox and that he is very interested in efficiency. Would be very curious how his idea of efficiency translates to a system like Elks. I do know portability is not one of his areas of interest. Also, it may be too basic, but sbase has an interesting take on some utilities. There's also pdclib as another alternative to uclibc. It's not as complete, but there are some interesting optimizations like with strstr using the railgun algorithm. I found it interesting comparing the Fusix version of ls with the Minix version. Liked the removal of the large array to track user/group.
