Re: [PATCH] fs: Add romfs version 2

* Increases romfs partition size limit from 2GB to 4GB.

 block aligned regular file data to bring performance
 parity with ext2/3. This is about 225% of the read
 speed of the existing romfs.

Why does block alignment of files have any influence on speed for a rom based ( no seek time ) filesystem?
