quickly wiping a card

[Dr. Hawkins]

I am trying to clear cards for output, but it seems to take bizarrely long.

I'm on a fast machine (quad core 2.7ghz I7, 16gb ram, ssd).

I can't get wiping things from or deleting a nearly empty card under 160 ms
or so.

I've tried delete, I've tried for each of the groupNames, then of the
controls, I've tried locking the screen and messages, but it still takes an
insanely large fraction of a second.

Am I missing something?

hmm, locking everything and deleting the card is down to 5 ms, but
shouldn't there be a quick way to wipe?
