Mark Lord has claimed that the currently shipping SSD's take "hundreds
of milliseconds" for a TRIM, command.  Compared to the usual latency
of an SSD, that could very well be considered "takes a coffee break"
behaviour; maybe not "goes for a hike", but enough that you wouldn't
want to be doing one all the time.

The story that I've heard which worries me is that those of us which
were silly enough to spend $400 and $800 dollars on the first
generation X25-M drives may never get TRIM support, and that TRIM
support might only be offered on the second generation X25-M drives.
I certainly _hope_ that is not true, but in any case, I don't have any
TRIM capable drives at the moment, so it's not something which I'm set
up to test....
