No, we do have evidence:  execution time of the TRIM commands on the SSD.

The one-range-at-a-time is incredibly slow compared to multiple ranges at a time.
That slowness comes from somewhere, with about 99.9% certainty that it is due
to the drive performing slow flash erase cycles.

I think perhaps we should do the batching as much as possible,
and then split them into single ranges for LLDs that cannot handle multi-ranges.

Way more efficient that way.

Cheers
