Unexpected delays writing to an SD card.

Just to add, it turns out the filesystem isn't in low memory mode, so I'm afraid it can't go any faster. So I guess the only options are:
- Increase the input buffer size
- Re-write the SD library so that it's nonblocking - however that would require the FAT library to be rewritten too!
- Speed up software SPI (it could be implemented like jswrap_io_shiftOut, which would really speed it up by accessing the register directly - at least on STM32). That may still not help you though
- Don't use an SD card. For instance you could use SPI flash, and then you can create your own journalling filesystem that wouldn't have these pauses.
