I might reiterate that the end goal of cramfs is efficency, and decent
speed. The end goal of jffs2 is quite different (although it still
strives for those things). iirc, cramfs images usually end up being 5%
to 10% smaller than jffs2 images, they boot a lot faster, the code is a
lot smaller (especially helpfull if you want fs support in your
bootloader)
