I decided the test I did was not how it would be used in a camera. The camera would load up the card
and one would then download the data to a computer. So I loaded the card with 106MB of files and
copied them to my ram disk. That copy took 40 seconds resulting in a transfer rate of about
2.65MB/sec. The subsequent delete took 13 seconds.

OK, that is all of the fun for now.
