Yes. But the Kernel's not on the Rootfs. It's on a seperate ~2mb partition. This is why kernel-power-flasher is needed; It has to actually write the partition at a low level, not just copy a file somewhere.

The rest is true - multiboot write kernel every time You choose different one. Ho ever, it doesn't flash *every* reboot (when different kernel is *not* chosen), as some (not Robbie) claims.
That's exactly what I said - whenever you boot /something else/. Ah well, perhaps I wasn't clear enough there.

Nope, no changes. I've no clue why it'd be slower, unless you chose the "compressed" option.
