The very first one obviously triggers a garbage collection.
Everything after that is well within measuring accuracy around 6.25MB/s

Yes. For a single sample, it can easily explain differences up to 500ms.
You have to average out file system benchmarks across a lot of files
to be sure.

Not much. This card only has a 6MB/s write speed, which is well below
what a 50 MHz bus can do. It mgiht be different on a fast eMMC device
or a Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-1 card.
