That's very very slow. I don't know why it's being so slow for you. 

Your CPU isn't particularly fast, but that shouldn't really make _that_ 
much difference. 

Can you set CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DEBUG=1 and set default_loglevel to 8 in kernel/
printk.c, then log the messages that it produces? I'd like to see if 
anything untoward is happening.

If it's really just being slow, then maybe you're going to need one or two 
of the features on the wishlist implemented - checkpointing and 
prepopulating inodes on mount.
