   NAND flash ought to be a lot faster than Glamo's MMC interface. Where is
the bug? FWIW, I tried a simple hdparm run on NOR flash, NAND flash and SD
card:

r...@debian-gta02:~# hdparm --direct -t /dev/mtdblock0  # NOR flash

/dev/mtdblock0:
 Timing O_DIRECT disk reads:    2 MB in  1.24 seconds =   1.61 MB/sec

r...@debian-gta02:~# hdparm --direct -t /dev/mtdblock3  # NAND flash

/dev/mtdblock3:
 Timing O_DIRECT disk reads:    8 MB in  2.89 seconds =   2.77 MB/sec

r...@debian-gta02:~# hdparm --direct -t /dev/mmcblk0    # Glamo MMC

/dev/mmcblk0:
 Timing O_DIRECT disk reads:    8 MB in  3.46 seconds =   2.31 MB/sec
