Does it write linearly or randomly? If it writes randomly, is there any way to get it to write lineraly (like how the MFT driver from http://www.managedflash.com works)?
 
This page should have all information.
UBIFS uses a write-back buffer to write whole pages as often as possible, that has a similar effect. Any hardware Flash controller should do that as well, that MFT stuff simply reinvented the wheel.
 
Also, since the OS rarely writes to the NAND, there's no real speed to be gained for the times when it does have a little bit to write, no matter what fancy algorithms you use :p
