Alignment issues, perhaps? If it knows your platform supports, say, 4kB,
64kB and 1MB pages (like some ARM platforms), it might be trying to move
stuff around in order to fit everything into the smallest number of
pages; that'll increase performance.

You say it's a NOR flash device --- are you using XIP?
