I'm pretty sure it was you who moved them from talking about writes to
reads!

With flash the reading is very different to writing, and the performance
of one doesn't tell you anything about the other.

No, you misunderstand, it's not the filing system in the image that
matters, but what filing system the controller in the SD card is
optimised for. On some cards if you do not write to a card in the way it
would be written to by a FAT32 filing system (use a different filing
system or even raw writes), you get very poor performance.

We look forward to it.
