Note that you can also reduce the journal recovery time by reducing the size of the journal. Having a large journal is needed for getting good performance with lots of updates at high speeds. If you aren't doing a large amount of filesystem IO (which I'd guess for an embedded device, assuming you are using it for that), then you could reduce the size of the journal to the minimum (1000 blocks) and this will also reduce the recovery time correspondingly.
