[U-Boot] Bottleneck of NAND copy speed

Hi List,
ATM I'm working on a DMA transfer from NAND to RAM of the Linux-image in
my SPL.
I’m searching for the speed bottleneck of the MT29F1G16ABBHC-ET
NAND-Flash on the devkit8000 (OMAP3).
From the timings I set on the GPMC I calced a max. speed of around 26
MiB/s. In my measurements I have a speed of around 10 MiB/s.
Here is the image of my the calculation:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B_wpO5K0MQSlYTcxMWVlOGEtY2FmYy00ODMyLWE1MTUtN2ZiZGViOWVhMzYw&hl=en_US
tcmd: The time for the initial read command
twr: time to write the address
tDn: Time for a 16bit read of Data
Does anyone has an idea where the bottleneck could be? Is my calculation
wrong?
(ecc is done parallel to the DMA transfer).
Regards
Simon
