JFFS2: checking CRCs twice!?

Hi there,

IIUC than mounting a JFFS2 root fs takes so long (6 seconds on my embedded ARM9) 
cause the CRCs of all blocks/sectors are checked.

But then it looks to me that - shortly after boot - the GC thread doing the same 
again (in background.c), which takes another 6 scondes and slows down the 
application startup...

Or am I missing something?
