But according to earlier design we postpone the core restart until the dump has been uploaded. I will remove the statement on performance impact in my next version. Firmware team requires all the memory regions to be dumped for easier debugging. This holds 55 MB only in case of high memory profile ( >= 1 GB). We haven't enabled any other low memory profile in upstream. Thanks, Sowmiya Sree
