JFFS2 - Can garbage collection at startup be disabled?

[Kelly, Mike - ACDIN]

(I am still new at Linux and JFFS2, so please correct me if I make any
incorrect assumptions.)

I am working on an embedded product where power can be cycled at any time.
It appears that if the power is cycled when there are deleted files on the
flash device that haven't been garbage collected, that garbage collection
(erasing the flash) occurs on power-up just after the jffs2 filesystem is
mounted.  This is causing our normal boot-up time of 30 seconds to increase
to as much as 2 minutes, delaying the startup of our application.  Is there
a way to disable this garbage collection on power-up and have it run later
in the background?  Thanks.
