Query regarding JFFS2 init

Hi,

I want to know what actually happens when sbin/init is invoked in JFFS2.


I'm using small page Nand device with a 12MB JFFS2 partition (which has
5.6 MB JFFS2 image). Kernel boots up from Nand flash and comes to
sbin/init; the total execution of sbin/init is taking 13 sec (which
seems huge to me). 

I traced the read calls during sbin/init execution and found that approx
13 MB of data is being read which is taking approx 7.8 sec (out of 13
sec).  Does anyone has any idea about the 13 MB data that's being read?

Regards,
Meeta
