how to behave on jffs2

[Lokesh Kumar]

Hi All,

I have an embedded Linux (kernel 2.4.18) board at 50MHz, with jffs2 16MB
flash. My system creates small files of 700 bytes each and is required to
create ~3000 of such files. I see that when there are 1000 files, the system
takes 3 minutes or so to mount this partition and then another 3 to do "ls
-l". When there are 3000 files, the system takes 10 minutes each for mount
and "ls -l". 

Is that expected behaviour?
