I assume you mean blkmtd here. The mtdblock driver is used to present
an IDE type interface to flash, whereas blkmtd is used to present a
flash interface to an IDE type device.

How big of a device?

Which version of the code are you using? Mount time has been
significantly improved in newer versions of the code.

Not that I know of, because the code needs to read the node information
in order to get the versioning of inodes, etc. correct.
JFFS3 is essentially the exact same code base as JFFS2 right now. It
was just forked about a week ago.
