Fatdog uses a similar initrd, high (xz) compressed sfs (linuxfs), and aufs. I've noticed historically that initrd reading and general start up can at times be painfully slow for one installation, that 'moving' (reinstalling) can 'fix'. No idea why one install (initrd location) might be so slow to load, whereas the same moved elsewhere is quick to load. Maybe some for of boundary alignment issue. So basically ... try removing and recopying the files again and see if that magically boots much quicker. You may have to try that several times.
DSL is far from small, its a highly compressed sfs that is even larger than Fatdog. Such high compression is initially slow to be read/decompressed the first time a file/program is read, but quicker on subsequent reads when hopefully the file/data has remained in cache.
