It is designed for flash devices that expose themselves as block devices (like SSDs) and not for raw flash devices as jffs2 .. so they aren't really comparable.

And JFFS2 works really badly on file systems which sizes are in GBs as it AFAIK keeps the whole fs structure in RAM. From scalability point of view, UBIFS would be more reasonable comparison.
