Hi all,

can anybody help me explaining this diagram of NOR read throughput?

	http://files.lamark.de/nor_read.png

As soon as a file, read from a StrataFlash containing only this file,
exceeds erase block size (128KiB), file reading lasts a portion of time
longer and read throughput stagnates...

Write throughput seems to be constant around erase block size:

Best regards,
