Oh, I misread it ... but still, the modern definition of "excruciatingly
slow" doesn't seem all that far off what 90s-era hard drives could do.
It is clear from googling though that there's an enormous performance
range in SD cards' random write performance, eg wikipedia's entry has
a link to
http://goughlui.com/2014/01/16/testing-sd-card-performance-round-up/
Seems like it's hard to judge this without knowing exactly which
SD card Michael has got in that thing.
