[U-Boot] JFFS2 with NAND flash is very SLOW ...

In fact it is not better with this config:
#define CONFIG_ICACHE_ON
#define CONFIG_DCACHE_ON
#define CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_SIZE 32768
#define CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_SIZE 32768
#define CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE 32
My architecture is arm926ejs and it seems that CACHE management is not
implemented...
I just measure a load of uImage (2MB) ... it takes more than 2 minutes :-(

Depends a bit on the "application". From my experience I-Cache is most
important. But for memory intensive applications (JFFS2 might be such a
beast)
D-cache could be very helpful as well. Best is to have both enabled of
course.

Defining the cache commands doesn't insure that caches are really enabled.
Some platforms don't support I- and/or D-cache in U-Boot. I can only speak
for
PPC4xx which has I-cache enabled and "usually" D-cache disabled (because of
cache-coherency issues). This might be different on your platform. Again,
just
enabling the cache commands will most likely not help here.
Best regards,
