Sure, but not all the world is SATA-attached SSD's.  I'm thinking in
particular of PCIe-attached SSD's, where the TRIM command might be
very fast indeed...  I believe Ric Wheeler tells me you have TMS
RamSan SSD's in house that you are testing?  And of course those
aren't the only PCIe-attached flash devices out there....
