The sequential NAND write speed is not very great:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=2delete bs=4M count=256 conv=sync 256+0 records in 256+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 129.84 s, 8.3 MB/s
The setup is otherwise identical to a setup I'm running on a Cubox with a terribly slow single core 800mhz Arm CPU (Marvell Armada). The cubox has much and much better disk I/O though. Especially when run over SATA (it can reach 90mb/sec raw read speed and 40mb/sec when serving files with Samba over gbit). I'm running the MySQL database on the cubox from a microSD card though.
Overall things work much faster on the t428, except for the large write operations.
Perhaps I should try the same test again from a microsd card in the T428, it might be an issue between the nand driver and mysql.
