Start from nature and take a trip for venture

Nicola,
I ran some tests on a NanoNote board yesterday, which has the Samsung
K9GAG08U0M NAND chip we will probably ship the Ben NanoNote with.
microSD card was a 16 GiB Silicon Power Class 6.
On the SD card:
date; dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1024k count=50; sync; date
50 seconds = 1 MB / sec
date; dd if=foo of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=50; sync; date
13 seconds = 3.8 MB / sec
One the Samsung NAND chip (mounted via yaffs):
date; dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1024k count=50; sync; date
21 seconds = 2.3 MB / sec
date; dd if=foo of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=50; sync; date
14 seconds = 3.5 MB / sec
This is all totally unoptimized or anything (2.6.24 kernel, the .28 kernel
wasn't working yesterday). I think we will first try to move everything to
more recent SW, .28 kernel or newer.
