> LogFS stores the inode tree on the drive; JFFS2 does not, which requires it to scan the entire drive at mount and cache the entire tree in RAM. For larger drives, the scan can take tens of seconds and the tree can take a significant amount of main memory.

Interesting. I've only used JFFS2 on embedded systems like OpenWRT routers, where you wouldn't see the large drive penalty.
