There are two more factors that play into #1 and #5. Firstly there is a
per command completion overhead in ATA without NCQ being active and that
isn't yet a heavily optimised libata path. Secondly erase block size
matters with flash drives so the bigger each I/O the better erase block
behaviour we should get.
