Decreasing time for `rsa_init`

Dear Linux crypto folks,
Building CRYPTO_RSA not as module, but into the Linux kernel,
`rsa_init()` takes 130 ms on an ASRock E350M1.
(Timings are shown by adding `initcall_debug` to Linux command line [1].
The times are visualized by `analyze_boot.py` from pm-graph [2] or
`systemd-bootchart`.)
This is quite a lot of time compared to other modules, and I wonder if
there are ways to decrease that time other than building it as a module,
and not signing modules?
Kind regards,
Paul
