This was on a MPC860 system running a 2.4.25 kernel tree with a MTD snapshot of Spring 2005. > It looks like it took about 13 seconds to mount the onboard 8MiB flash. > I can mount 512MiB of flash in 7.9 seconds with the current kernel, with > a 400MHz AMD Geode. The file system size was actually only 4 MiB. But then, a 400 MHz Geode is a bit faster than a 50 MHz 8xx, probably not only in terms of CPU performance but also in terms of memory bandwidth. > There's more work going on right now to reduce the memory usage too. Fine, thanks!
