Is it normal for a large SMC (128MB) to take a long time to save data?

Examples, in Doom saving takes like ten seconds. In SMS32 saving (when you return to menu) takes like 10 seconds.

On my 32MB SMC it was pretty fast. Maybe a second or two.

Is it normal? I'm thinking maybe it's due to the card being larger and almost filled with stuff? Or is it just my card?

BTW - it's one of those $22 Samsung ones from Newegg. Great price, so I can't complain too much really.
 
All SMCs have basically the same data transfer rate, apart from the ones that have been advertised to run faster (I think the Lexar ones do?).

Ten seconds is quite along time though.....

Tried refomatting?
 
How long does it take you to save in Doom on a 128MB SMC? Or SMS32?

I'll try a reformat later. I also have a second 128MB card that I haven't even used yet to test. :)
