Do you mean SD-cards? Because, as I can understand, "raw" flash (I mean NAND chip) hasn't any special filesystem-related optimization. Moreover, as I know, this optimization takes place in the begin of device (because FAT metadata is placed in the volume's begin). But if you have several partition on a device then you haven't any optimizations for second and next FAT partitions. So, in-place modified metadata of f2fs is placed in the begin of the volume also.

Or, maybe, do you mean some another special optimization for VFAT?

Yes, it is very interesting use-case. Maybe, kernel compilation can be complimentary synthetic benchmark. :-)

With the best regards,
