Couple ideas for custom jffs2 build

We are attempting to reduce RAM consumption of jffs2 for a specific
customer with a specific use case in mind. One idea is to hack it to
merge jffs2_full_dnode and jffs3_node_frag. From a high level I can
see this would make every write a full dnode replace. But for
multimedia file storage this is not so bad. I'm assume this _could_
be done without _too_ much effort, it feels naive to me though. How
bad is this?
The second issue is a 20s delay in open()ing a 30MB file. We believe,
having looked at /proc/slabinfo, this is caused by the system having
to read in all the jffs2_node_frags. Wouldn't it be _easy_ to put a
blocks raw jffs2_node_frags in the eraseblock summary and sort through
them at boot?
