Seems like we are within the measurement noise. I did each test only
once, and the test lasts only a few seconds, but here are the results:

Without keep-config (i.e ONFI timings) :

# time dd if=/dev/mtd3 of=/dev/null bs=1M
32+0 records in
32+0 records out
real 0m 3.54s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 0.26s

With keep-config (i.e bootloader timings)

# time dd if=/dev/mtd3 of=/dev/null bs=1M
32+0 records in
32+0 records out
real 0m 3.77s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 0.21s

I.e we are apparently slightly faster with the ONFI timings. However
again, the test duration is very short, and I didn't repeat the test
several times.

Best regards,

Thomas
