Good point.

Edit: Apparently, the engineer took the cards away and said that they are now "covered by the software".

Maybe a reboot after taking the card out will improve some people's boxes? Perhaps the delays are down to the machine reading the card when it doesn't have to??

Removing the card makes no difference. If it went faster, that would be because of the reboot.

Thanks for the info. SP.

I was hoping that we had stumbled onto something here (in a similar way that removing Suggestions is helpful) as one or two have said that doing this has led to an improvement in speed. But, as you say, a reboot helps anyway!

I've asked those who say that this procedure has led to an improvement to let me know if this is long lasting.
