Comment(by cjb):

 Replying to [comment:6 dsd]:
 > I would think that any reason to reduce writes on jffs2 still applies
 because at the end of the day there is something similar running on the SD
 card microcontroller.

 It depends what the reason to reduce writes was.  :)

 My understanding is that each short write created a new jffs2 node, which
 made the tree-building stage of mounting jffs2 take longer each boot.  So,
 purely a problem of software data structures related to the SD
 microcontroller.
