Are you using the current git tree and summary support?

I can mount a 512MiB NAND flash in 5.9s on hardware where I get only
2.7MiB/s transfer speed from the flash. Mounting 1MiB from NOR flash
really shouldn't be that slow.

Profile the current code and show where it takes all the time.

I have plans to halve the size of the summary nodes, which should go
into the git tree this week too.
