Dear Eduardo,

   I am using squashfs filesystem. So i am more concern with the read speed.
    whereas below are the details
                                                     read speed   write speed
    ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT       8 MBps            5MBps
    ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK      10 MBps           7.2MBps

   used the following command for measurement for both the cases.
   reading
   hdparm -t /dev/mtdblock3
  
   writing
   dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtd3 bs=4096 count=100k

   As of now everything is working fine with those changes
   but i am worried if these changes would have any adverse effect anywhere ?
 
   Thanks.

What are the results for read and write for both cases ?
