Slow, but presumably thorough.
Subsequent runs were equally slow.

The problem is, it still issues TRIMs to the LLD one extent at a time.
Compare this with doing it all in a single TRIM command
with the wiper.sh script (filesystem unmounted):

    [~] time wiper.sh /dev/sdb3 --commit
wiper.sh: Linux SATA SSD TRIM utility, version 1.9b, by Mark Lord. Preparing for offline TRIM of free space on /dev/sdb3 (xfs non-mounted).
    This operation could destroy your data.  Are you sure (y/N)? y
    Syncing disks..
    Beginning TRIM operations..
    Trimming 168 free extents encompassing 8793136 sectors (4294 MB)
    Done.
real 0m1.249s
    user    0m0.110s
    sys     0m0.063s

That includes the time for me to type 'y' and hit enter.  :)
..

For completeness, here's the same operation again,
except this time on the *mounted* xfs filesystem.
It won't be trimming quite as many blocks
(leaves 1% free space in reserve),
but otherwise is similar:

	[~] time wiper.sh /dev/sdb3 --commit
	
	wiper.sh: Linux SATA SSD TRIM utility, version 1.9b, by Mark Lord.
	Preparing for online TRIM of free space on /dev/sdb3 (xfs mounted read-write at /x).
