I guess it depends on how the compact flash is presented. If it appears
to the system via a hard drive interface (?) then the answer would be
I'm running JFFS2 on USB Flash keys (which appear as SCSI devices
via /dev/sd??) via the MTD block device emulator .. the default read
speed is poor and the write speed is non-existent .. however if you grab
my patch for blkmtd.c posted earlier, I'm pretty much getting raw
read/write speeds from the key.
