I thought I'd enabled CONFIG_JFFS2_SUMMARY, but it turns out not.
I've enabled it now, but I still don't seem to see any speedup.

I'm unclear on how to make the filesystem use it. I create the jffs2
filesystem by simply doing:

flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd0
mount -t jffs2 mtd0 /state

Will this create a summary automatically, or is there an extra step I
need to take?

...ah, it seems removing the -j does the trick. If I don't use it, mount
goes from >50s to <4s.

thanks!
