JFFS3 & performance

Hello Guys.

Please, don't try the last test version I sent and don review it. It is 
buggy. I gonna create another one. I gonna add support for those 
architectures who does not have any CPU cycles counters (like ARM). In 
this case I gonna use jiffies value. But I don't like it since we need to 
have interrupts enabled during test. Moreover, this is very inaccurate and 
we need to do lots of iterations of CRC calculations. And we may be 
interrupted and the IRQ handler may put lots of garbage to the L1 caches 
(both instruction and data caches). 

So I don't know how to believe test which uses jiffies (especially when we 
want to measure diference between forward and backward CRC calculations).

Any thoughts?
